Hi Madie.

The first part of my post stated, "I don't disagree with what the others have said. I'm just offering a suggestion."

First, I still hold to my statement, I don't disagree with what others have stated regarding Cupcake's treatment. I was just making a suggestion for when she is being held by someone else.

Second, Julie as you can tell from my avatar is a Shih Tzu. Julie is just a tad older than Cupcake. Same kind of nose features. If what happened to Cupcake would have happened to Julie, I would have been fuming pissed myself. In fact, I would have written a letter to the main director or whoever is in charge if muzzles are the standard for a puppy, and if not why was it used on mine???

Lastly, I would take Julie to another vet either in-house (depending on the outcome of response I had received from the director), or take her to a different location. I would remind myself that with any medical profession (even our puppies and dogs), "I" hire them to do a service for me. If I'm not satisfied with the given service, I fire them and look for better service elsewhere.

I think we're on the same page. We love our babies very much. We want others to treat them as we treat them, with kindness and respect.
