I have considered calling and talking to the vet, but I don't know what her name is. The really nice one is Stephanie and she is the one I usually talk to or see when we come in. I may have to address it as it does really bother me. I was just so in shock that she treated her that way! |
What's so extra awful is that this kind of intimidation can teach a dog to fear the activity surrounding/involved in the fearful episode. So a dog can link a trip to the vet or trying to give a pill or even raising of the voice with this scary experience down the road.
