🐱🖤 A little Churu goes a long way! This sweet kitty got into some chocolate at home, so our team induced vomiting to help remove what she had ingested. As part of treatment, we also administered activated charcoal. Activated charcoal can help bind certain toxins in the gastrointestinal tract, reducing how much the body absorbs. We mixed a little Churu with the charcoal to make it more appealing, and this clever girl happily ate all 24 mL all by herself! 😻 We are always looking for ways to incorporate Fear Free techniques into our care to make treatments as positive and comfortable as possible for our patients. Sometimes, a little extra love (and Churu!) makes all the difference! ❤️🐾 #fearfree #vetmed #vettech #veterinarymedicine #churu

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

Just because a dog stops struggling during a nail trim does not automatically mean they are comfortable. In some cases, we may be seeing learned helplessness instead of true relaxation. I’d rather focus on cooperative care, gradual training, low stress handling, and behavior medication support when needed. #dogtraining #dogbehavior #fearfree #cooperativecare #vettok
