really wish I had more time for individual patients sometimes
#especially cats.#or anxious dogs.#i've had more and more situations lately where i felt a little more time to adjust would make everything a lot less stressful for the pet#and idk. i want to use as little restraining force as possible#and sure there's a balance between that and ensuring your team's and your own safety#but there are so many 'potentially spicy' cats that just want some proper introductions and a little time to decompress while handling them#and idk. had an initially very friendly one today that wasn't too keen on me examining her#so she hissed at me when it was too much#and i just decided based on her earlier friendliness that we would wait it out#she quickly started to deescalate the situation and approach me again#so we did the next part of the examination#until it became too much again#and so on until the end#really helped she had a strong bond with her owner to so she went to him for support and some cuddles constantly#and it was one of those very delicate situations because it can go horribly wrong really quickly#but i felt i owed it to her to at least try?#and it worked out in the end#but also set us back by almost 30 minutes and i always kinda hate inflicting that on my coworkers#but still. i feel the tight schedule and sheer flood of patients leads to an unnecessary use of force sometimes#and quite possibly some oversights.#and i really don't want that
