@drtom83: This sweet Dutch Shepherd struggles with fear at the vet, and when restrained, that fear can turn into defensive aggression. While pre-visit medications like gabapentin and trazodone can help many patients relax, they don’t work for her. So our priority becomes keeping everyone safe while still providing the care she needs. Restraint in these cases isn’t about force, it’s about safety, control, and preventing injury to both the patient and the team. Our goal is always to make each visit as low-stress as possible while ensuring important exams and treatments can be done. #drtom #veterinarian #veterinariansoftiktok #VetLife #vetmed #patienceformypatients #dog #dogsoftiktok #dogoftheday @Clove Shoes
