The neurologist Prince goes to does this when he's getting blood work or x-rays etc etc. Normally, I might be upset...except for Prince is far from normal. He actually behaves much better when I am not in the room....at the vets and otherwise. If I am around, he doesn't want anyone else to touch or handle him...and I think my nervous energy rubs off on him.
The new vet I took Ricky too also did it when I had his anal glads expressed. Perhaps they didn't want the stink to get all over...IDK...but that did make me feel a bit uncomfortable since it was our first visit there.
I used to have no problem dealing with other dogs when I worked at a vet clinic, but for some reason, I have a really hard time when it comes to the boys getting shots, bloodwork etc etc. at the vet. I can't stand to watch them squirm or cry...it really bothers me. |
