That vet sounds horrible! I cannot ever imagine being told to "flick" my pet ever when a mistake was made. That is not a positive reinforcement whatsoever and I think the vet needs to be "flicked"...
Run, run as fast as you can far away from that vet and find another, another who is caring..
It might take time for you baby to warm up to a good vet now as I am sure she will remember her experience with this horrible vet...Poor baby!! But she will learn to trust another vet I am sure.
Give her lots of hugs, it was not her fault. And if anybody ever squeezed my dogs nose Id have a fit.
Yorkie's have potty mistakes, especially when they are really young. It all takes time, be patient, give positive reinforcement and don't let your little one have free run of your home until your baby matures...
Good luck finding a new vet! |
