Yep, it has been quite the ordeal. She went all Shepard on them today. Sometimes I forget what she actually is. Holy smokes she was all business. I have raised her from a fur ball and lose sight that she is a 100 pounds of fury when pissed or scared. She still piles up in my lap even today. Easily best hound I have ever had.
They don't forget either. She's going to be a PIA at the vet, or at least that vet. Sucks needing to use sedation, especially for something like removing stiches and changing a bandage.
Mine didn't care for going to the vets, but she never got defensive about it, just wanted to leave!
Just over a year ago we needed to remove a growth from the back of her neck. He did it with just a local and me holding her and his assitant handing him the tools etc. Was maybe 1/2 to 3/4" deep. Amazing - at least to me. A couple of stiches and he was done. I came back a week later and one of the assistants took the stiches out.
