My chihuahua, Machete, has a hot spot on his butt. He is unhappy with me.

(51,567 posts)I saw that on Frazier with their dog Eddie.
That collar looks like it can get even smaller if you had a tinier dog. When my relatives raised Schnauzers they would get the tails and ears docked (this was back in the 70s when they still did that) and they used paper plates with a hole and a slit cut into it for collars for the puppies. It worked and was cheap.

Poor baby. Please give him a treat for me.

(11,791 posts)This was both to prevent him from licking and for my safety. He was snapping like an alligator when I tried to put meds on.
He is normally the sweetest little thing.

Now she is nearly fourteen, and her back legs are starting to give out.

(9,426 posts)My lab mix would bang her "lampshade" against the hall walls, loudly, hoping I would take it off. They hate those things. Machete looks disgusted. Will he forgive you?

I blame my husband. He hand fed him the other night.
Tiny tyrant!!!
