In Sichuan, China, a veterinary clinic recorded a hilarious and intense moment where a veterinarian was aggressively attacked by a "patient". Most pets do not enjoy visiting the vet, and it can be challenging to keep them calm and cooperative during examinations. A veterinary clinic in Zigong, Sichuan, shared a video that shows not only the pets but also the veterinarians can feel terrified during these encounters.
The surveillance footage captures two veterinarians attempting to place a tabby cat into a carrier. However, the cat's Elizabethan collar (a protective cone) falls off, and in the next instant, the cat turns around and launches an attack on the veterinarian who was holding it. Although the cat is small and does not bite directly, its furious demeanor transforms it into a miniature beast. The veterinarians are seen fleeing in a rather comical manner.
Despite the cat's lack of severe physical harm, its aggressive behavior is unmistakable. The pet owner and another veterinarian watch from the sidelines, adding humor to the scene. Internet users sympathize with the veterinarian's plight while being amused by their helpless reactions. Comments include: "Cat: Was it you who just gave me the shot?" "The patient is very irritable, and the doctor is quite agile," "The doctor-patient relationship is too tense," "The doctor must be well-trained from frequent encounters like this," and "The funniest part is the other doctor hiding behind the owner."
The veterinarians' struggle with the pet highlights the challenges they face daily. It prompts us to silently appreciate the hard work of all veterinarians, the angels in white coats of the animal world.
