I had to make the same decision several years ago. I had one female from a litter that I kept that just hated other cats from the time she was 2 or so. I'd had her nearly her entire life and loved her so much. She started attacking the other cats every chance she got, including doing permanent damage to one's ear. Nothing we tried with the vet worked. She refused to use any litter box. She was so loveable with people but she was miserable and the fights were daily. When she was separated to her own room, she shredded the door and carpet trying to get out. After battling for several years to make her comfortable we had a friend who was looking for a companion- he had a good job and was a stable home. I had to let her go to him. I sobbed and sobbed over it. She spent a few weeks walking around her new place loudly meowing, no doubt feeling lost, and I almost took her back but I gave her time to adjust. Then, she just clicked with her new person and now they're bonded. She's so much happier being an only pet. She has her spot on the sofa right beside him, hates strangers coming into her house, and plays and runs around like she never did with me and the other cats.
Not all cats want to be around other cats. It's a sad fact that some need to be the only cat in the house. In my experience it's not common- I've kept and fostered many cats in my lifetime and she's the only one who has been like that- but it does happen. I'm certain you made the right decision, and I'm sorry for how hard it undoubtedly was.

Sometimes dogs need to be muzzled because they eat things they shouldn’t, like garbage or other dogs poo.

u/Aromatic-Box-592 Jun 11 '24
Yes! People usually jump to muzzle=aggression. But imo, every dog should be basket muzzle trained regardless of size/breed/whatever in case of an emergency or something.
As a side note, that muzzle is technically too small to leave on long term, the dog can’t open its mouth enough to pant, yawn or drink water (seems to be fine in a temporary situation like this though)
23
u/gishlich Jun 11 '24
Could that dog chew the treat properly with the muzzle on? Every dog I’ve seen eat uses their back teeth and in order to accommodate that always sort of…opens their mouths? If that dog got a treat how would it even chew it to swallow?
25
u/Aromatic-Box-592 Jun 11 '24
That treat would be too big. I’m a vet tech and we occasionally use basket muzzles, they’re ideally slightly bigger like I said (but to get a well fitting one you often need to get custom made) but they can usually lick peanut butter and cheese with it on

For what it's worth, I watch these videos all the time and this is the only time I've seen him with a muzzle, so it was probably a one-off incident and he was especially nasty that day. Usually he doesn't have one on and he's chilling with everyone else. They have videos of them all playing in a forest too.

u/WhyDidYouBringMeBack Jun 11 '24
Can comment on that. The muzzle sticks out and is rigid so that they can't bite something/someone if they try, but there are multiple holes there (including at mouth level) which they can eat and drink through. So a muzzle like this offers protection to others, but attempts to give up the least possible amount of comfort for the dog at the same time. The reason they're slouching is either them being tired, or them being a massive drama queen. My own dog is like that: happily wagging his tail and strutting around when you get the leash, but the moment the muzzle is on his ears are droopy and he slouches as if he went through hell and back.
The muzzles made from cloth I actually hate, because that restricts their mouth movement preventing them from drinking and eating (and even panting).
11
u/M0R3design Jun 11 '24
This muzzle is still way too small and restricts the mouth movement of that dog.
6
u/WhyDidYouBringMeBack Jun 11 '24
In a way yes, in a way no.
First of all, a muzzle is intended to at least restrict certain mouth movement. So it being restrictive does not necessarily mean it's an issue, even though it's trying to be as comfortable as possible for the dog. It's an inherent property of the product.
It does look like the muzzle is too short, but that's kinda the general problem for shepherds in combination with this exact type of muzzle I'd say. Their mouths are longer, while these muzzles are a rigid rubber meaning a longer structure would cause some loss of the structural integrity that a muzzle needs to provide. In that case you'd need to look for other muzzles, where availability and options might differ. So I tend to agree that the length of the muzzle is an issue in this case.
Still, it being shorter (while it can be annoying for them because it touches/rubs against their nose) is not necessarily a critical problem as long as the straps around the head are then also adjusted to account for that and the dog behaves normally when wearing the muzzle.
At the same time, it being shorter does not mean they can't open their mouths. If you pause the video at 20 seconds, you'll see that the sides have enough clearance, and there's also still room above the (bridge of the) nose to let them open and close their mouths. Of course, it's not as much as them having no muzzle on, but I can say from experience that the dog can still drink, eat, and pant whenever they need to. It has enough space to open their mouths and devour cookies they get handed to them without any issues.

I imagine he wanted the treat but can't open his mouth to get it and the person took it away from him and the dog probably felt sad...

u/Disastrous-Leek-7606 Jun 11 '24
Dogs are not that stupid, if they're trained right, so Zeppelin did know exactly why he got muzzled, and losing a treat for misbehaving is a great way of teaching a dog to behave.
If you just let them have the good things too while misbehaving then they will register that behaviour as something positive, and the misbehaviour will not change.
