New here and could really use some advice... Please!!! Hi, I am new to this forum as for that matter new to owning a pet and I am so lucky I get to start with a Yorkie! I have read so much and learned a lot here. I thank all of you that are here and giving great information. So that brings me to why I am here. I have a great, energetic and loving 4 month baby but as a recommendation on a vet from my in-laws I think I made the biggest mistake by taking him there by what I feel was mean and uncaring treatment. So I have come to you to maybe tell me I am over reacting because I am very new to having a pet.
Peanut needed his second round of shots and he was digging at his ear (one night just running around squealing and shaking his head) I made an appointment and he went in today. The Vet looked in his ears and the next thing I know he grabs his head holds it down on the table and starts ripping hair out. My poor Peanut screamed and cried so load I just yelled what are you doing he said grooming him that’s what you have to do with these kinds of dogs. It took all I could do to hold it together and not cry. He put some clear stuff then started stuffing cotton down in his ear cleaning it. He gave me something Gentizol to put in his ears.
Now you can’t touch his ears he screams. I read some things on here about cleaning the ears but I couldn’t find anything on why the hair has to be pulled out. Any advice would be great. Sorry so long I can be long winded and wordy! Thank you |
