    My pig has done all that and more. Try having a 160lb, intelligent, willful beast.

    Vet decided to trim his hooves without sedation. Yeah. The screams could be heard for a city block.

    I can hold a cat into submission, and you can flip a pig on its back and make it helpless. But next time, DRUG HIM.

    Me taking dog taking dog to vet is similar.

    “You should put a muzzle on her.”

      Edit: if you KNOW ALREADY that your dog bites… You should already own a muzzle.

      Uh, if your dog bites, you should already own a properly fitted muzzle.

        If your dog bites sudden, sharp, unexpected pain happens, that might be an understandable response and warning the vet of such things should be acceptable.

          First time? Sure. Accidents happen and vets are prepared.

          But if you know that happens, your dog is a biter. You should have your own properly fitted muzzle ready for any triggers. In this case, just arrive with it on.

          I’ll edit my original to better enunciate this.
