Shiba Inu Diary – Sephy goes to the vet to get neutered. The most difficult part of the neutering experience was making sure that Sephy did not bite at his stitches. He did not enjoy wearing the E-collar and was unhappy about the forced reduction in activity.
Shiba Diary – Visit to the Vet
Shiba Inu Diary – Sephy’s first visit to the vet. The vet had to muzzle Shiba Sephy in order to give him his shots and a physical examination. At the end of the visit, the vet told us to return Sephy because he had a very unbalanced temperament. I later learned that many Shibas are very sensitive to restraint/handling. In addition, their natural mouthiness and stubbornness make them poor patients during visits to the vet.
