Fear Free Restraint Techniques
Dr. Babineaux is strongly committed to utilizing fear-free techniques during her ultrasound exams - pets are frequently ill and frightened, and her goal is to make their ultrasound as gentle as possible. Techniques include:
-
Calming pheromones
-
Towel restraint for cats (cats are NEVER scruffed!)
-
E-collars instead of face masks or muzzles (especially important for dyspneic or nauseous animals)
-
Padded positioning troughs
-
A quiet, soothing atmosphere
-
Light plane of sedation for especially nervous animals
