Maybe treats? everytime you pick her up for a while give her a mini treat. Sorry, I'm sure it won't be long.
She thinks I did it!!!

Bribe her with treats or whatever else you normally use to train her. Sounds like she needs to re-learn that Mommy=good things. 
She'll come around!
She'll come around!
I would suggest the NILIF (nothing in life is free) method---hand feed her. Don't do things that would give adverse reaction for now----give her space and we will pray that it will get better!
Oh no! I can see how that would be very upsetting for you! My vet always insists on having a nurse hold Bailey when she is checking him over, giving shots, etc...and she says that's because she doesn't want him to associate his mommy with anything negative. I always thought he might be more comfortable if I hold him, but now after reading your post, it makes more sense why she insisted on having the nurse holding him.
The others gave some great advice...lots of treats and praise should do the trick in no time! She also may still be in recovery mode from you being on your trip..? Maybe getting shots and then you being gone threw her off a bit, but I think she should be fine once she sees things are back to normal! (I know my Bailey took some time to get re-adjusted when I left town for a few days and left him with a friend...when I brought him back home, he had an upset stomach and was acting a bit off for a couple of days but was back to normal once he settled back in).

Wait!!!! I just gave rotten advice. Here's what you need to do :
1) Ship Ponyo to me and I will
2) Ship Daisy to you
:smrofl:

Aww - poor Ponyo and poor you. I think she'll be fine with you soon. I would use treats but be careful about hand feeding. You don't want one type of unwanted behavior to be replaced by another and be a slave to hand feeding. I also would insist on only one shot at a time for our little ones. If they have any reaction you want to know what it's from. My vet spaced the shots and I came back a week later for each - she only charged for shots not extra visits. She had her nurse hold Tyler when he was getting shots. I like being in the room to find out what's being done to him (as I did with my infant son) so I don't like the idea of them being taken out for shots,etc. Sometimes we know our own little ones best (just like being at the groomer) and I like to see for myself how things are handled. Just keep pouring on the love and keep away from the butt
LOL good idea! But be ready for my little stinker to put up a good fight w/ your heart strings! She is a charmer and I will warn you, she will cause a severe love obsession! :thumbsup:Wait!!!! I just gave rotten advice. Here's what you need to do :

ugg..I know what you mean! When we started on raw the dogs loved it and would sit at my feet when I do their bi-weekly meal preps (cutting meat, trimming meat, bagging...) and I love the attention so I often slip them bites here and there threw my process. Which led to Ponyo only eating when I hand fed her! She is over it now, all it took was a meal or two that she ignored, then she got HUNGRY! lol I love my little stinker! :thumbsup:Aww - poor Ponyo and poor you. I think she'll be fine with you soon.
