Mr. Scotch came to me due to reactivity when touching his butt fluff and tail. His mom was very confused as to why this new behavior recently surfaced. After getting a good history and asking a few questions I explained that it was probably just impaction and stickers. I did not believe he was trying to be a bad boy.
After accessing Mr. Scotch I confirmed that he was in fact impacted. So with his mom's assistance, we started the process of salon training and desensitizing to equipment. Once confident he would be good with the HV dryer, we started his deshed.
Lots of laughs, love, decompression breaks, patience and educating mom, Mr. Scotch was groomed without being muzzled or traumatized. But even better he is no longer engaging in reactive behaviors 😁💜🥰
This boy will never again be in pain due to impaction because his mom was willing to have an open mind, ask questions and learn about coat maintenance for her furry companion!😊
