Today I took my pregnant dog to the vet to get her nails trimmed and she was a bit nervous. She also wanted to bite the doctor and a muzzle was required. Will this have ane bad consequences to her pregnancy?

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Luna. Her recent nail trim experience sounds stressful, but should not effect her pregnancy. I would wait until after she delivers the puppies before attempting to trim her nails again. She may require a sedative or anti-anxiety medication to help calm her down. I hope this information helps!
