Never had a dog nail the vet, had one old cat years ago that was a mellow, lovable guy at home, and a complete wildcat at the vet. Don't think he ever nailed anyone, but when he got sick it was tough to treat him. There are treatments for cats. Just saying.

You admittedly knew your dog was a bite risk. Why in the [bleep] didn't YOU muzzle your dog before taking him in?! smh !!
Name me a dog that isn't a bite risk when a human unknown to the dog attempts to put hands on something that is hurting them without taking proper precautions. I'm no [bleep] Cesar the dog whisperer but if I'm about to mess with a sore on a dog that can actually hurt me whether it knows me or not I'd be making sure the head is controlled firmly away from me and or the muzzle covered. This was a mistake from a unexperienced vet tech simply put. And some of the comments above are so true, thank god it wasn't her face cuz it could have been, she was eye level with him. Crazy part is they love him there and they were all loving on him in the lobby before going into the examining room. Lesson learned for me is to not take for granted that the veterinary office that handles dogs every day knows what they're doing handling my dog.

No one has said it yet but you should notify your insurance company. Don't concern yourself with whose fault it is just give the circumstances to your insurers and let them deal with it if necessary. Good way to lose your insurance dog bite claims can cause insurer to cancel your policy. And others do not like to insure you on homeowners till problem pet is gone. Especially with it being a Rott... Dave Rotts are rotten. Good to their pets (owners), bad for those who arent.

They should have listened to you and put a muzzle on him, they're 100% at fault.
Yep. Got to agree here. It's not like you didn't warn him.

I worked at a veterinarian's when I was about 13.
We were a place that kept dogs for the ten day rabies observation period. A special kennel area and we were supposed to be very careful in there - of course.
We'd use these rope loop things to handle dogs, not the ones with a handle, just rope. If it was a dog we sere supposed to keep away from ourselves we were supposed to keep swinging them so the centrifugal force kept them away.
Well I got one of the observation dogs on the end of the rope one day and I could not keep that mean SOB away from me and I got nailed. They weren't particularly sympathetic since it was my failure. He was 9 days into his observation period and now we had to keep him another 10 days. But he died that night! Then they were really pissed I had gotten bitten because they had to autopsy the brain to check for rabies. thank God, it wasn't rabies and I didn't need the shots. Shots in the 90s were not bad. But that wasn't the 21 in the stomach anymore. Gamagobulin in my thumb hurt like hell though..
We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....

I had an exciting morning,so I take my 8 year old Rottweiler to the vet to have them look at a toe/claw that he injured. I told them that his feet are very sensitive, he never likes me messing with them and although he's never bit me doing so that he's expressed his dislike in me touching them in his own way. Well add to that foot phobia that he has an injury and I clearly told them it would be in their best interest to muzzle him. Well we aren't in the examining room 3 friggin minutes and a young tech kneels down and reaches for his bad paw. He grabbed her arm so quick there was nothing I could do. I was floored, the little girl was wailing in pain ( he got her really good) they dragged her out of the room real quick and I'm left standing there like WTF were you thinking. They immediately started panicking about Rabies and I'm like you guys take care of him , he got his shots last July. What a Phhucked way to start the day! You admittedly knew your dog was a bite risk. Why in the [bleep] didn't YOU muzzle your dog before taking him in?! smh !! Dog is not a risk except in pain... any dog can be... you keep a muzzle for yours around just in case? We don't....

We had a beagle/blue tick cross that lived for one thing and one thing only. If it didn't have something to do with hunting, that dog couldn't care less. Doc Stryffler was an old small town vet who frequently hunt pheasants and rabbits with my dad and Belle. Belle was comfortable with Doc working on her, but wouldn't tolerate anyone else. Put a tech in the room with her and she'd get defensive, the hackles went up on her back, and the teeth were bared.
She knew Doc and trusted him but no one else. When she'd get all banged up while out hunting, we'd have to track down Doc if he was off, because no one else could work on her.

Vet bill that high? I've had a couple of vet bills that were so high I swore I was going to learn how to dope a horse up and put stitches in so I'd never call one again...

I have to say a lot of vets today and people that love animals in general are really fugking stupid.
My lab only wants to wag his tail, eat, and find birds. Nothing else. But he's 110lbs. and has an IQ that would make Blackheart look like a fugking astronaut. So when I take him to the vet I always ask "Do you want to muzzle him?" The answer is invariably "Why?" Gee... I don't know. Maybe because you have a 110lb's of retard staring at you and you want to fist-fguk its ass? I mean, JFC. It's a DOG.
Last time I was at the vet, I'm standing in the lobby/waiting area and some fat fugking dilldo abuser comes walking up and just starts scratching and rubbing the fugk out of my dog's head. I say "You're not making my life any easier by doing that."
By the look on her fat face you'd have thought I'd punched her in the sternum. I tell her "You really shouldn't approach strange dogs like that. Especially big ones."
She walked out. Everybody looks at me like I'm the ass hole.
Keep your fugking dickbeaters off the fugking dog until you have a read on everything.
As far as I'm concerned, AC's dog dig that girl a favor. Better to learn now on your arm than later on your pretty little face.
Nothing further.
Clark I love dogs and get along with them better than people. I have never had one get aggressive with me. Well, there was this one time I was riding my bicycle and a foaming at the mouth, snarling bigass mix breed came tearing after me. I don't normally worry when dogs chase me on the bike, but I am pretty sure this thing would have eaten me if it had caught me. Dogs generally have a good sense about them, even big retards. With that said, I will always ask the owner if I can say hello before I approach. It just seems like the right thing to do.

I have no interest in fawning over anyone elses dog. The dog wonders, WTF? It's not like some women who say, "I shoulda met this guy before i married Bozo".

Rotts have been the best dogs I've ever had. Happy to greet and play with most anyone. But if my dog doesn't like you, I trust him, and don't like you either.
And I agree with Flave, don't just walk up and start petting him without asking me first.

Had a male Rott for 8 years that I could do absolutely anything with, at any time... EXCEPT trim his nails... Never a bite outta him. But the only two times his nails got trimmed was when he got knocked out for surgeries. Fortunately he was an outdoor dog, so, he kept them relatively worn down.

That's crazy, It must be a rott thing. My last Rott would not let me touch his nails and my current one won't either. They just hate having their feet played with.

Our jrt refused to allow anyone to touch his feet. Trimming his toenails was done by Momma while I sat on the little schitt.
Never had one bite anybody. But did have a young german shepard bitch do worse one time. We had just purchased the dog and took her in for an initial vet check.
The vet proceeded to express the anal glands, and whatever that stinky, slimey mess was, it squirted right into the vet's open mouth as he spoke to my wife.
I still shudder at the very thought.

My daughter is a Vet-Tech. And, yes, they do get bit from time to time.

![[Linked Image]](http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c264/Muffin1954/ANIMALS/winston3.jpg) When he got older this one would take your leg off if you approached me, the wife or one of the kids too fast, and you were taller than 2 1/2 feet. A trip to the vet required a muzzel and he sounded like Cujo the whole time. On one trip this little 5' nuthin Vet Tech says i can fix this, give me his leash. OK!?!?! You know what he's like???? She takes him back, they do what they need to do, he and she come out, he's on his leash and doing the Boxer twist, all giggly, happy, blowing snot everywhere, they were the best of buds, Just not with mom and dad close by!

If I allowed a dog of mine to bite a vet employee, I'd shoot it, then feel guilty for not shooting myself.
