Anyway as Rylie was barking the guy (vet) smacks Rylie on the nose...... is this normal? Have you all had this happen before? I was shocked.....I didnt know what to say? As he did it he said oh stop that....hmmm do I need a new vet or am I over reacting? |
A vet should know to NEVER strike an animal! Your fur kid was already scared of him...how in the world did he think that hitting would help matters?!
When we took one of our kitties to the vet, he was growling nonstop. He is harmless and would NEVER do anything other than make tough boy sounds.
Anyway, our vet laughed at him and just continued with the exam and would, from time-time, call him tough and was still laughing at his growl. Your vet was WRONG for putting his hands on your fur kid in such a way!
