Well it was a bit rocky as I had to leave one vets office and find another. But that's another story.
Hemi did very well in both I personally think. For his first time visit in a Vet's he was a bit barky as people came in with other dogs. He did growl at the vet when she stuck a the stool thing up his butt. He was fine other than that. He's just very scared and nervous and as the vet said "a talker.."
He weighed in at 58.6 pounds and has a HORRIBLE case of hookworms. We're now treating for that as well as on flea, tick, and heartworm stuff.
So my question is...I'm supposed to go to a obedience class with him this evening at 3PM.
At the vets he was fine with all of the dogs but one...which was a great dane who was growling and barking at him.
I also asked the Vet if she saw any signs of aggression or thought he had any temper issues and she said not from what she could see but that he was very scared and if I didn't socialize him well he would end up with some aggressive issues.
So to go or not? I think I'm more scared than he is....when he starts barking I start getting really anxious because I do not want him to draw attention to himself.
