When I put the Vaseline on, she paced the floors for about an hour. Had never seen her do that but she absolutely walked the floors. Her anxiety level was sky high. Don't know if I want to put her through that again. Still have the option of letting the groomer do it for me. I'm not there so she doesn't associate the experience with me. Can't stand it when she won't have anything to do with me. Had never experienced it to that degree before now . |
Cotton ball soaking would be easier on her, I think. That's how we soften Bella's eye bookers, and it only takes a couple of minutes. I'm sure that having Vaseline on her face for hours was stressful.
