To be on the safe side?
« I have a female Boston Terrier. She loves to
Max is getting neutered Monday. Last time he was at the Vet was in February and we have moved since then, so he hasnt been to this Vet yet. Anyways… I have told him he does not do good around strange dogs (if for whatever reason they have him around them). He’s never shown aggression towards a human, thats not a problem. But I am wondering if I should bring him a muzzle just to be on the safe side?Personally I like to err on the side of caution and purchased a suitable muzzle for the shape of my Dobermanns head for visits to the vet where the treatment may cause discomfort and in case of emergencies.
Vet usually do have a variety of sizes you can borrow, but I preferred to have my own that I knew was a secure fit.
Yes, to be on the safe side either purchase or borrowing a muzzle.Yep, bring it. It’s not a huge hassle, so you might as well be safe rather than sorry. And do not be afraid to use it if he gets fearful.
And by the way, I told you in your last question that you were abusing MAX and I would adopt him. He’s GORGEOUS. 
Just kidding, you are a loving, responsible owner to have him neutered. I just think he’s handsome as anything.
Best of luck to Max. He’ll do great!Do you have one? If not, they have muzzles there. The tech at my vet’s office put one on Bama before she’d take his temp. He never even budged, growled, flinched, etc.
But, sure, if you have one, it might be a good idea to take it with you. Only you know your dog. But if you know he’s not good in environments where there may be strange dogs, it is advisable to muzzle him just in case. It just makes you a responsible owner.You could, but you should also tell the vet and some places have seperate entrances for dogs that are dog aggressive. I owuld ask the vet and see how they want you to handle it;Bring it just to be safe. If there are other dogs in the waiting room, it’s better to have a muzzle ready than wait for a technician to get one.I would bring in, just in case. That’s a surefire way to avoid any "oops," and they will appreciate that you took the initiative.I wouldn’t worry about it. The vets are used to every type of dog, and I’m sure they will do a good-enough job preventing anything from happening.I’m sure the vets have muzzles on hand, in a variety of sizes.Vets have muzzles if they need them.
My dog, a chocolate lab, had…key word had, doesn’t have it anymore…an ear infection. The vet never gave us a cone to stop her from scratching her ears. Now winter is setting in, and she has scratched the vast majority of fur off her ears and they are covered in scabs. How can I get the scabs to heal faster, and her fur to grow back quicker before it really gets cold? She sleeps outside, and sleeping indoors is not an option. We have tried putting Boroform on her ears with some success, but I want something that stays on a bit longer.
