FINALLY. This is how I restrain cats without scruffing. I use this a lot for blood draws from the back leg and for my upset friends who want to try to bite me. If they are wanting to bite me I use this hold while they’re in a towel AND I have gloves on that are covered in Feliway. It takes practice, I’m not expecting anyone to just stop everything they’ve been doing overnight. However, studies have shown the benefits of Fear Free practices and if you can practice on your good kids then you’ll be a pro when it comes to the stressed out ones. Remember, being Fear Free is not just about handling it’s about the whole experience and reducing FAS in your patients. Also, I’m so sorry I hate the word Fractious and I used it multiple times in the video. I’m trying to get better with my wording and remembering that most of the time they’re anxious, they’re stressed……they’re not mean. #vettech #veterinarytechnician #vetmed #veterinary #fearfree
