What is it about veterinary clinics that cause fear in dogs? Stormy is less than two months old and has never been near a vet, but before we even got out of the car, the pup is squirming, not wanting to be held. Inside the waiting room, howling with fear. Do dogs that visit spray fear hormones? Is there a horror vortex created? Do dog ghosts go there to live? I've experienced this with older dogs but not puppies.
At any rate, got him up to date with shots and he had a nice bath. Doc looked him over for skin disease and he got a clean bill of health. 370 baht later we take a very relieved puppy back home. I let him have a few drops of my beer after I was done with it so he had a lot of firsts today.
