| Vet vist today... I took Lola for her 9 week visit today, all is well with her. When I first got her he had suggested I take her back due to open formenal...it is now closed. She weighs 1.7 lbs and everything checked out fine. I mentioned earlier this week about my yorkie biting a visitor...well, I discussed it with him and was a bit shocked at his response. He told me when Scooby is displaying inappropriate behavior to put him in a closet for 1 hr and extend it to 3 hours if I needed to. He also said for the time being to keep him on a leash and when he acts out to dangle him. Am I crazy??? Or is he? |

| I think he is crazy and wouldnt do either of those things he has suggested. I think it is abuse to leave an animal in a closet for 3 hours.

| I don't know where in Alabama you are but I would run as fast as I could from that "nut"!! I agree ... that type punishment is abuse!! Are you near Ashland? Our vet in Alabama is there [specializes in this breed] and she has patients who drive from Atlanta to use her! There are several methods of training to use other than what that vet said!

Donating YT 30K Club Member | Does anyone get the feeling this vet doesn't like small dogs?

| Ok this vet is NUTS!!!! You don't ever do that to any living thing, I don't care what they do or what type of pet they are!!!! First off if your pup is young, dangling them (if they wear a collor) can result in collapsed trachea as their bones are still growing and are still soft in spots. and Second: putting your dog in the closet would make it feel neglected and afraid. what the H$@@ was this dumb @^^ thinking?!!!! sorry for the language but This guy shouldn't be in business. Just my opinion. |

| It just proves another vet went into the business just for the $$$$$$$. Get a new vet.
