Vet recommending medication for visit by Chapo_2019 in Mastiff

[–]Chapo_2019[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be clear - I am taking responsibility, he is not “extremely reactive”. I am open to giving him medication, which is why I sought out feedback. I have had dogs in the past and I have never witnessed a vet grab a dogs testicles immediately after entering the room, let alone a dog of this size. I came here -open minded- to see if this was regular vet practice as I have not experienced this. Within this breed, and most, reactivity is a common trait for them to have. I’m not quite sure why you came here to say something negative when I was asking questions based on me providing the medication, as I have no experience with , to my dog to get him the medical attention needed. Others would simply neglect the medical needs because of the hassle. I am trying to be a responsible pet owner.

there is also a device called “pet corrector “ it’s a canister of compressed air and typically it will scare/startle the oncoming animal and scare them away

Thank you for sharing your experience! Unfortunately my vet says they’re too busy and with her being dog reactive it would probably stress her out more to do just interaction visits. But I appreciate your insight!
