Does your animal really need surgery?

Filed under: Animal news — Tags: , , , , , — Cynara @ 10:17 am

dog-playing-ballIf you went to the doctor and him told you that you would have to do a surgery, even before trying other treatments less invasive and aggressive, what would you make? 
 
1 - already mark the surgery, without trying other treatments? 
 
2 - see other doctors to hear one second, third or up to fourth opinion? 
 
3 - make other exams? 
 
4 - see some alternative treatment and then, only if it didn’t have result, there yes it would leave for a surgical procedure? 
 
If it went a survey, I am sure that the number 1 would be in last. If the people act like this in their lives and of their relatives, why with their animals are the attitudes different? 
 
Many professionals have been submitting animals to unnecessary surgical procedures, be for which reason goes, that doesn’t matter, but some animals have been suffering a lot with that attitude. The risk of an anesthesia, the physical and emotional suffering of a postoperative one and the worst, not always the problem is solved and in some cases until worsened. 
 
What to do then when the professional says that the animal needs a surgical procedure? 
 
Simple. Be put in the place of your animal. If it had the same possession that him and did his doctor indicate him the surgery the one what you would do?  

You can be sure that taking that attitude, you and your animal will receive the best treatment and later there won’t be regrets.

Aggressive pet

Filed under: Animal news — Tags: , , , — Cynara @ 8:00 am

Aggressive pet can to injury your owner for means of bites and/or scratches. In cases of anxiety or of compulsive obsessive upset, the animal can inflict wounds to himself.

When the animal wraps up in the undesirable behavior, usually compensation/reinforce exists for him.

Don´t resist the undesirable behavior with aggression or punishment. Punitive reactions tend to worsen the problem.

Don´t resist the undesirable behavior comforting the animal, although it seeks to reduce the anxiety. The action of comforting, of the perspective of the dog, is similar to a praise.
