We had a discussion with a vet today and she has been reluctant to treat a cat in front of the owner. The noise of the VibraVM can be distrubring during the first use. There is a wonderful book by Dr Temple Grandin, Animals in Translation where she discusses animal restraint. A tight wrap around the cat will calm the animal and allow for a safe treatment. Safety is of the utmost importance when treating a cat.
The vet was also relating the status of two dogs she has been treating with the VibraVM. Both dogs have advanced congestive heart failure and after just two months of treatment for one and one month for the other, both dogs have been taken off their cough medicine. They are still on heart medicine and diruretics, but their comfort level is very high.
The bottom line for the day is we have two very happy dog owners and a very happy vet.
