Untitled Document

“Include both medical and behavioral triage in your treatment plan. Assess your patient, the urgency of medical procedures and the likelihood of a fearful outcome. If the procedure is not necessary (e.g. nail trim), it may be best postponed.”

-Gary Landsberg, DVM, BSc, DACVB, and Theresa DePorter, DVM
