jetcitywoman Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 I've noticed something odd about Capri when we go to the vet. They can take her temperature anally and she completely ignores it. Or they can do it in her ear and she cringes and acts like their ripping her ear off. That's totally backward from the way I feel about thermometers! I don't think they're being rough with her or doing anything wrong. So why is she so fussy about a thermometer in her ear?

Guest Energy11 Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Some greys are just very sensitive about their ears. Guess Capri doesn't have a sensitive butt! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliforniaGreys Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 If you can, next time watch as they're doing it. I've seen vets and techs both hold the ear a little too tight and it hurts them.
