So we went to the vet this morning and yes, there was prodding, and yes, we are exceedingly grateful for the muzzle. Cricket had an infection of her anal glands (if you have a strong stomach, you can read about it here), and so Dr. Ellis had to ‘express’ them, which would have killed us all if we hadn’t used the muzzle. She got a shot, and now she’s in the bathroom cursing. Happy Saturday!
