Usually, when you bring your pet in to see the vet, it's safe to say they don't take it too well. And we always just want to pick them up and cuddle them until they aren't scared any longer! Well, at one veterinary it might be a little different. We don't think animals are scared... but more a bit confused and shocked! Hey, we would be too if the vet's assistant was a raccoon!
