[QUOTE="rejectedmom, post: 51340, member: 2315"] I had a duchund that began biting after he had been hit by a car. He was unpredictable and one time bit a guest that was petting him and then reached for her drink. It was a bad bite and I wanted her to report it but she refused. The second bite was a friend of my son's who had tried to grab him. That also was a severe bite. I offered to pay for the medical bills and called for a euthansia appointment. My family and the kid who had been bitten were very distraught over this and begged me not to do it. I thought long and hard and then had an idea and called the vet back. I asked if he culd pull the dog's teeth instead. He said yes and that it is done frequently and often it has a psycological effect that makes the dog less aggressive. He didn't know why but said that there was evidence to that effect. They only pull the canine teeth because those are the ones that usually do the damage by puncturing. The dog can eat just fine. It is way more expensive than putting them to sleep but is a viable alternative for some dogs. (it cost me $700 about 8 years ago). The only side effect my dog had was that the tip of his tounge would hang out a bit. It made him look like one of those stuffed dogs. things went along fine for a few yeas but then we had our first grandchild. The dog went after the 8 month old baby who didn't do anything to him didn't even look at him. husband (whose dog it really was) picked the dog p and told me to say goodbye and took him immediately to the vet to be put down. It hurt but it was the right thing to do. -RM [/QUOTE]
