Try it and see? If she gets fussed over in the waiting-room to begin with, you can probably judge if it will help or not. I.e. if she's distressed even there, there is probably not much point. |

If I were you I'd discuss it with the vet to see if he thinks it might make her less distressed...I agree I would NOT want to go the valium route!! My personal opinion (and not knowing her it may not be valid) is that it would only stress her more. And maybre make her less trusting of you...??? |

Have thought long and hard about this and agree that it probably wouldnt be in Eva's best interests and only cause her further distress. Have decided, since she is a healthy cat with no real need to visit the vets often that I am going to try to build a trusting bond with her through the use of clicker training. Am already making good progress with her confidence issues and litter box issues and since she is so responsive to it why not use it to try and build greater trust, working towards her letting me do her manicure/pedicures. Its gonna be a long road but so worth it. Winston was always so trusting of me, Eva just needs that little extra time and patients with everything ![]() |
