Caleb's Chronicles

[fuzzi]

I know they took him into the back room last time and didn’t let you be with him. (Our vet does that all the time, but our dogs are ok with it.) Is there any way you can explain to them that Caleb is a rescue situation that needs to have you with him for security?

I can picture them still saying no. Would it be possible for you to call around and find a different vet that would be willing to work with you on this? Surely there are some practices that understand the importance of helping a rescue dog learn to be comfortable with veterinary care. The importance of not setting back his progress.

I am planning on talking with the manager, if not the vet himself. Caleb will not be taken from me, it's the staff's fault that they botched it last time.

I also was planning on getting a muzzle for emergencies, Baskerville recommended by Caleb's foster.

Caleb was a stray, picked up and surrendered to the animal shelter, probably never had hw preventative. He does tire easily, and I don't push him, only toss a ball 5-6 times before stopping. He's on slow kill meds but still can have blockages from dead worms clogging things, ew. Poor baby.

Limit his activity. That will prevent blockages while the worms are dying off. He might even need to be crated for a few days.
