I’ve been helping with stray rescues and there’s been an ongoing debate among the crew about using harnesses versus traps. While traps can catch them quickly, I’ve found that harnesses allow for better control and less stress on the animal during the rescue. What’s your experience? Is one approach working better in your field?
It’s interesting how 3D printing can really change patient comfort… I started using a new flexible material for retainers, and my patients have mentioned how much more comfortable they are compared to the old ones. Just a small tweak, but it’s made a big difference in feedback.
Harnesses definitely reduce stress on the animal, but it can be tough to get them on a scared stray. I’ve found that using treats to coax them works wonders alongside a harness. Have you tried any specific techniques that made a difference?
I’ve found using a net can be a game changer when working with especially terrified strays; it gives you a bit more control in those tense moments while still minimizing stress. Have you ever tried that technique?
