I think that most of the time, the vets & techs are so busy; they don't feel they have time to read charts. They just walk in to a room, reach for a dog so they can get done and get on to the next dog. They just don't have the time to slowly approach a dog and let them calm down. My 2 are frightened out of their minds at the vet’s office, but seem to do the best with females. There are 6 Vets at our office; the only 2 women have left!!

The first time I had to see one of the men, he walked in the exam room and my 2 are trying to both shove themselves under the chair I'm sitting on
So he could clearly see they were afraid. I told him they are afraid and might need a little time to warm up to him. He's lucky he didn't get bitten when he reached under the chair and tried pulling Buddy out!!

It's clear to see that some schools don't teach common sense to their students!
