I am not going to say my cat loves going to the vet, but before she would put up with the visit. She would be a bit afraid but if I put her under my shirt she would be fine. I guess you could she was passive, but the bottom line is she never was aggressive towards the vet or staff.
Fast forward a bit and last year I had a discussion with my then vet about my cat licking raw one of her legs. How this ended up is not relevant to the discussion besides the fact I went to another vet to have a second opinion. When I went there the first time, my cat behaved as usual: she did hide under her blanket in her carrier, but did not fight when I brought her out for the nurse to check her out. And was scared but in a passive way as before.
And then the vet (doctor) came in. And my cat started growling and hissing. pretty loud. Vet sprayed herself in some cat calming spray but my cat would get none of that. But, as soon as she was back inher carrier she hid under her blanket. And when she got in my car she was calm and just checking things out. And when she got home she sniffed about and went to eat.
Next time I went to the same vet, she was hissing and growling at the nurse. And when the same vet came, it got worse. As in they brought some leather gauntlets. A before, she was quiet in her carrier and completely calm in the car. the third and last time was the same.
Then I decided to go back to the first vet. And now my cat had the same aggressive behaviour and she showed with vet2.
What happened? And can I do for the sake of the people who work at the vet?
