^ One of my rescue is very difficult - she is a biter and bites the hand that feeds her. You cannot do anything to her - trim her nails, brush her, etc., without her biting and she resource guards, also.

She is now quite sick and has to be sedated just for the vet to examine her. It cost me $400+ just to have blood taken the other day and xrays, but all were inconclusive. I just can’t do more tests and who knows what kind of treatment on a dog who doesn’t let anyone touch her. We are now trying prednisone as a hail mary, but if it doesn’t work we will have to put her to sleep. She is in pain - shaking, can’t jump anymore and I can barely get her to go outside. Supposedly we should know if there is improvement by tomorrow. She seems to have stopped shaking but that is the only sign I see so far that is an improvement.
