Cubbe report: The vet and the tail
Cubbe is back from a day at the vet where she got her routine annual
exam and annual shots and routine rare dental work. She's fine. The bad news is that the vet reports no improvement in her fear during the exam and shots. The good news is that she goes back to being trusting good dog the instant she stops feeling threatened which is the instant they stop trying to hold her still. So when they go to get her to move her around the office or to get her to bring her to me, she's fine, holds no grudges. I expect that. She's fine with all people when she's on or off a leash, just doesn't like being up on that table and takes great exception the muzzle but can't be trusted for those few minutes without it. Her teeth are fine too. She got tartar scraped off them so now she has a lovely smile. Naturally that required anesthetic which is why she spent the day at the vet instead of my being there with her. When she came out of the back office as we were paying, she recognized us and seemed quite happy but not the full joyful waggy tail greeting we usually get. She was still groggy. Now at home, we're watching the anesthetic indicator: the tail. I swear it is the funniest thing to watch Cubbe's tail go from relaxed and unfurled to the full upright curled position. The entire transformation takes a few hours, but we have a complete visual indicator of how the drug is effecting her during that time. --Lia |
