After a lengthy battle with cancer and multiple visits to the vet, one dog finally expressed his feelings in a recent TikTok video. His owner shared that the pup was cancer-free and was only going in for his last checkup to remove his sutures after tumor and spleen removal.
Initially seen wagging his tail and walking calmly with his owner, the dog’s mood shifted dramatically as they approached the vet’s office. The moment the door opened, he had a realization and decided he wanted no part of it. He grabbed hold of the leash, dragging his owner back, clearly saying, “Not today!”
@emi1eexo Results: No cancer!!! 🥹🫶🏼 Final visit to the vet to have his sutures removed after tumor & spleen removal and he was not having it 😂
Dog owners know the feeling—many pups develop aversions to vet visits due to uncomfortable experiences. As they associate the vet with pain or discomfort, it can lead to increased anxiety. According to Preventative Vet, unfamiliar settings and strangers invading their space can make things worse.
This owner noted in the comments that her dog had never reacted this way until after his surgery. She felt terrible having to take him back but sweetened the deal with some fries afterward!
