@MerckVetManual A6: We tell them it won't be an instant fix. Some supplements take up to a month to work, so they need to be patient. #MVMchat
@HricMiranda @MerckVetManual @pamshultzdvm @Currie @DrJones38150640 @GeniusVets @dvm360 Having a certified, insured trainer in your practice who can teach your patients to 'go to the vet's' and otherwise offer scientific, skilled advice and demonstrations can be excellent. #MVMChat
Thank you @HricMiranda, @pamshultzdvm, @fearfreepets, @DrJones38150640 for all being so actively engaged! We appreciate it. #MVMchat #grateful
@MerckVetManual @pamshultzdvm @Currie @DrJones38150640 @GeniusVets @dvm360 A5: We are lucky, we have a friend, who is a trainer, who works w/ us. :) #MVMchat
@MerckVetManual Great question. Ask what meetings they attend and what organizations they belong to. Do they go to the ACVB research meetings in the summer (this year with ACVIM in June). How did they learn what they learn (NAVC I?). Ask to sit in. I encourage it. #MVMChat
We’re out of time, but please keep the conversation going!
Thank you to everyone who joined our first-ever #MVMchat! Special thanks to @DrKarenOverall for being our guest host and providing such insightful answers and pearls.
@MerckVetManual A8: We are not all interested in the same thing and we do not all have the same gifts. 3/3 #MVMchat
@MerckVetManual A8: Find someone who cares, who seeks education and who can say they do not know. Many practitioners have special interests. 1/3 #MVMchat
@MerckVetManual @iaabc @HumaneSociety A7: Refer whenever you feel you cannot do the best job possible and you know you are missing something. All specialists are happy to get what’s a less complicated case for them and their referral letter and discharges will help with your education. #MVMchat
Q7: How do you decide when to refer behavioral cases to a specialist? #MVMchat
@pamshultzdvm @MerckVetManual @Currie @DrJones38150640 @GeniusVets @dvm360 I cannot imagine NOT practicing medicine this way and have done so for over 20 years and have taught these techniques almost as long. These are game changers and sanity savers (and they make practices wealthy). #MVMChat
@DrKarenOverall @MerckVetManual @Currie @DrJones38150640 @GeniusVets @dvm360 It's so worth the work though. . .to have the language and bond to communicate with your pet without force, fear or pain. #MVMchat
@MerckVetManual A6: They have to discuss the concern with their vet and/or a specialist and decide how it can be best managed in their lives and worlds. Every day I tell people I lack magic. 2/2 #MVMchat
@MerckVetManual A6: Life is complex. They have a choice. They can meet their dog’s or cat’s needs or they cannot, but there is no in between. Understanding the problem is 9/10th of the battle and all of that work – all of it – is theirs, but it is intellectual. 1/2 #MVMchat
@HricMiranda @MerckVetManual @Worldvets @AVMAvets @The_NAVC @iaabc Absolutely. Studies are now appearing that show that no matter how well done, sheltering is stressful for dogs and can damage vulnerable dogs who were not abused. This is why they need the time to become and show who they are rather than immersing them in everything. #MVMChat
@DrJones38150640 @MerckVetManual @pamshultzdvm @Currie @GeniusVets @dvm360 This is what you have to do - this is a full body and soul commitment. It's a lot of work, but the payoffs are dog lives and brains. You must know who is doing what and how. And you need to see it and understand it for yourself. #MVMChat
@MerckVetManual @Worldvets @AVMAvets @The_NAVC @iaabc A4: Pet Peeve: when people assume every shelter pet has been abused. I would definitely have them contact their vet ASAP and remind them to 🥰 & be patient, but to try not to give up if/when things get tough. Sometimes you have to throw in a mix of meds and supplements #MVMchat
@MerckVetManual @pamshultzdvm @Currie @DrJones38150640 @GeniusVets @dvm360 A5: Ask about specific methods: do you use shock, do you use prong collars, do you use choke chains, do you hit dogs…the UN does not let the providers or handlers of their dogs do this, why would anyone else allow it? 2/5 #MVMchat
@MerckVetManual @pamshultzdvm @Currie @DrJones38150640 @GeniusVets @dvm360 A5: This is work. You need to have the vocabulary to ask the right questions and to evaluate the answers. You cannot ask about positive techniques unless you know what these are and which techniques meet the definition and which do not. 1/5 #MVMchat
