Our 11 month old rescue girl got a piece of twig lodged in her mouth while out with the dog walker and she had to take her to the vets. She was completely petrified but unfortunately it manifested as aggression and they couldn't even get near her to muzzle her so had to use the dog catcher loop thing (sorry not sure what it's called). The vet called me after she came round and seemed very worried about her reaction. I knew she was scared in the vets. Before we got her she'd had a few trips to the vets and was really shaky and a bit snarky when we took her for a check up buy nothing like this. Vet has recommended a behavuourist etc but I just feel quite worried and upset that it will be behaviour which she might display in other circumstances. She's shown no aggressive tendencies at all in the 4 months we've had her. She's giddy and boisterous with other dogs at times which is something we are going to work on but great with people. A bit nervous initially but if approached calmly and kindly will be fine. Can anyone offer advice or just sympathise. I feel awful. She's absolutely fine now, back home and snoozing next to me on sofa
