My nurse ran to the treatment room,
“We have an emergency in room one; the puppy is white.”

Ear Pressure Point Massage Relaxes This Dog
Be sure your animal hospital follows these practices to help your pet be as stress free as possible. (Were you looking for things to do at home to keep your pet safe?)
1. Clean, quiet hospital environment
2. No waiting in view of other pets; staff takes your pet in right away
Prepare for Your Visit to the Veterinarian
1. Come Prepared. Bring hard copies of previous records, x-rays, passports, and vaccine records. Special Tip: bring food ingredients from pet food, all vitamins or supplements or herbal remedies, shampoo, flea and tick products, and even toys and training treats so you can truly get the vet’s opinion regarding any of these items. Hire a veterinary coach for complicated problems and write down your observations ahead of time.
2. Take your pet to the visit yourself. Or, have the person that knows your pet best be in charge of the visits.
3. If your dog bites, bring your own muzzle, or ask for one right away so your exam gets moving along. If your cat gets nervous, as most do, leave him in the pet carrier until the nurses are ready. Letting a cat wander around the exam room usually encourages self-defense when then veterinary team walks in.
4. If your pet has a skin or ear problem, do not wash or clean the skin or ears before the visit. You might wash away clues the vet needs to diagnose the problem. read more…
