| Re: Not a great trip to the vet for Toggle.
I don't think you're in denial and I agree that if the tech thought your dog was that dangerous, they should have muzzled her. Do vet techs get any courses in behavior?? If not, they should. I have the absolute sweetest female and she will let pretty much anyone manipulate her but she does not like being held down. Not at all. Our previous vet got right down on her level and took her blood with no problem. New vet didn't listen when we said she didn't need to be held down. Didn't muzzle her because she was so friendly. Got a call saying she flipped out when they were holding her down....
My point? She's not an aggressive dog at all, but she will 'let you know' she doesn't like something just as your girl did. I don't know that the needles even hurt - probably just stings a little but the holding down part is what I think offends them.
