I am just wondering what are the PPE provided at your practice when it comes to handling aggressive. I have suffered quite a few cat scratches that have resulted in pretty bad scarsen-USTelligent Community 10https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/166489?ContentTypeID=1Sat, 01 Oct 2016 21:21:31 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:e2c14ae8-4f52-476f-9235-79ab5c1a2bcfNicola Smith<p>With many cats a less is more approach works well. And ensuring no dogs and noises to stress them. Quiet calm approach with time for them to settle if needed. Quiet cat clippers are a God send too :)</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/166487?ContentTypeID=1Sat, 01 Oct 2016 19:55:44 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:00026baf-25c4-4972-b3b3-f9e206a603b8PJ Zurawel<p>I know it&#39;s up for debate but gauntlets are useful however you do loose some dexterity with them. We use cat muzzles which cover the cats face. Otherwise with cats we&#39;re trying to blood sample or catheterise trying to pre-clip the area (obviously if the cat is not too scared of the clipper sound) and applying emla. Also using Feliway spray or pet remedy on the towels can also help a little. Most cats are just afraid so a nice calm approach can sometimes work wonders.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
