My Vet is wonderful with my 6 yr old chi.  I have had the same vet for over 30 years.  He talks softly to her, slowly strokes her.  But most importantly he moves slowly around her.  She never knows when she gets her yearly shots.  I usually stay in the room with her and visit with the Vet. I am calm so my baby does not fear that this strange man will hurt me. Yes, my baby would bite this vet if he grabbed her from me and laid her on her side and started poking on her.
You need a new vet that loves animals.  Your baby can sense that it is not loved by this vet.  Dogs don't understand much English words, but they understand a lot from a person feelings.
My vet teases me all the time that I spoil all the dogs that I have had.  He took care of my Pomeranian that I had for 14 years.  She never bit him either.
He is wonderful.....find you one that care!

Well said Mare. I agree with you.
 
Dianna, my Chi’s can bite too, when they are approched by people in a way that scares them. Moving to fast, grabbing down from above towards them etc....
These things are very scary for them at their small size.
Of course it would be best if you would have or still could train your dogs so they won’t bite (if that’s possible) and to be very careful and prevent that they will bite anybody, especially children. You might be in big trouble then, living in the USA. So do what you can to prevent this, but do never ever get rid of your dog(s)!!!
I also think, people and chidren should ask the dog-owner first if they can pet their dog(s), before they approach to do so.
 
I would never ged rid of (one of my) Chihuahua(‘s) because of this (that they can bite when they are scared). They are lovely sweet dogs and I love them. I’m responsable for them too.
 
That vet indeed has the wrong proffesion. She doesn’t care for the pets she treats at all. She only cares about the money she earns with it.
Pets are not disposable and the things she said to you makes me believe that’s the way she looks at pets, as being disposable. 
Get rid of that vet and never ever give up your dogs.
 
Good luck with finding a good caring vet! Enjoy your dogs! Don’t cry anymore because of that awful heartless vet.

How would that vet like to be treated that way??
He was very scared.
Some people unfortunately become vets or doctors for the money not because they have patience.
DO NOT GET RID OF YOUR BABY!
Get rid of this vet,
Hugs sweetie. Hoping you feel better.

I am Diana from Washington. I have written about Kiko (7 yr) and Pawko (8 mo).
previously.  Today I took Pawko to the vet. My Vet is really strict (boot camp
type)  I have not had the opportunity or taken the time to train Pawko. He is
energetic but does listen when I tell him something. The vet trimmed his nails,
(Pawko was crying the whole time loudly) They took his temp. They layed him on
his side (?) to give him his shot. He bit her, like a real bite, hard and
invasive. She told me that when he comes in or goes anywhere to be sure
to tell them to muzzle him. Then she said, I need to train him properly
or get rid of him and give him to someone who can. That it would allow him
to be the best dog he can be. She said that if this dog bites a little kid, I
will be in big trouble. Am I wrong ~ or did she irritate the heck out of
him and he was scared and bit her ~ or is he a biter?? She said that I need to
get rid of one of my dogs if they fight all the time.
(just at dinner time and bedtime). Obiously I cried all the way home thinking
that I had let this little guy down by not teaching him how to act so that
he would not get in trouble.  What do you think??? I need some sensible
opinions.  Do you think this little guy was provoced??
Thank youso much,  Diana
