Face recognition w/ meds
I read somplace that people reccommend you put a mask on when forcefully administering medications to larger chams - as they recognise faces -this is supposed to help keep them on good terms w. the keeper - but my thought on the matter is this: If they trust you as a keeper - why would you want to violate that trust by alllowing a "stranger" to hurt them? I only ask because my old veiled has a cow if anyone messes w/ him but me. If I reach for him, he willingly will come and sit on my hands- probably because this is associated w/ food and water. But if I go to give him medication, it is as if he knows it is for his own good and it appears that he tries to be cooperative (how could you be cooperative as bad as oral meds taste!!)
Has anyone else noted this kind of behavior in their chams? Has anyone tried the mask idea?
