Hello all,
So, I adopted Luna a week ago yesterday and took her to the vet Saturday for her rabies shots and wellness visit. She was fine in her carrier with the bigger dogs in the waiting room but ... when the male aide held her for the vet to examine her she lost her cool. So much so she started with a low growl to full on his and then to straight up kitten roaring with claws fully extended. It was about a full five minute ordeal recovering her. First the towel was tried, then a new aide came in with a net, then a third aide came in to soothe her.
Luna was on a straight up rampage. Hair standing on end and did everything to escape.
My concern: putting her collar on for the next visit when she is spayed.
Thankfully, Luna was totally fine (playful, staying near me, running and launching into my curtains) when she got home but I do not want to traumatize her when she is dropped off for the surgery.
Any ideas or suggestions? Am I overreacting?
Thank you!
