Had to take The Teddy to the vet today. He is a Pekingese, so we (DW & I) are are members of his staff.
He is not one to tolerate poking and prodding. I was holding his butt, assistant holding his chest, and the vet is trying to examine eyes. The Teddy was having none if it. Even with treats as bribery, he was unrestrainable.
After a few minutes of this, the assistant announced it was time for a "cat-wrap." She departed and returned a moment later with a large bath towel. We Wrapped him snugly and the vet promptly checked his eyes.
The Teddy had a combination of allergies and an infection, but has meds and is on the mend.
Anyway, if you have an unruly pet that needs to be immobilized for a few moments, try a cat-wrap!
