When I try and nurse my Maremma she cowards, runs and trys to hide , she will growl and snap at me if I attempt any kind of direct contact with ie: an antibiotic cream, treatment for fleas, ticks and mites (which is just a solution put on the shoulder blades and tail area) if she even sees me coming with a tube of anything she trys to avoid me. She has never had anything done to her that would have hurt her, one trip to the vet for her needles...is all she has ever had done. Other than that nothing...in fact she won't even let us bathe her. Right now she has ear mites and I am powerless to help her...I know she is in distress..What can I do to rectify this problem and be able to help her? Taking her to the Vet would be fruitless...I doubt if we could even get her into the car...she is a powerful dog and strong willed and if she doesn't want to go she will become so aggressive that we would be forced to abandon that trip.
