Seeking vet recs for my fearful pup after being attacked by a dog in June
Hi all, I am hoping someone can help with tips on places that might help my dog in a few fronts.
I just moved here and want to establish care somewhere eventually but I am looking to take my dog somewhere asap. She was hurt by a dog who ran up on us unleashed and attacked her from the back as she was leashed. She has sadly been hurt by a dog before and has normally rebounded faster but this was a month and a half ago and she still seems impacted. She is scared of all animals both big and small - I’m talking the tiniest squirrel or even a friendly dog she’s just over it I guess. If she’s in the car she loses it barking. If she sees a dog running on TV she loses it. She’s just over 4 years old and was nervous when I first rescued her at 6 months but I got her through that. it’s gotten to the point where I need help. I only take her out for potty breaks right now and don’t have her around any dogs but it’s taking a toll on an already stressful time! She used to love hanging out with her dog friends at the park but I think it’s just everything with the transition as well. I don’t know if medicine or something might help. She’s a GSP/lab mix around 80 lb with crazy strength.
I’d also like to get her teeth cleaned for the first time. Ideally it would be low cost. Any tips on that would be helpful. She’s absolutely great with humans and loves them (known as the affection monster with my friends). So that wouldn’t be an issue with a vet.
