I requested that the visit be with the owner and the other vet was not to be around Cupcake. Hopefully this will help sooth Cupcakes fear. |
Wonderful news! You handled this beautifully. I wish Cupcake and you a very positive experience when you go back.
When you go in for the appointment, be confident and cheerful. These doggies are smart and can sense anxiety or apprehension in their humans (and after your experience, I wouldn't blame you for feeling that way). Also, don't worry if Cupcake doesn't want the treats they offer. My boys don't like treats at the vet or from strangers.
