Silent encouragement
The vets exchanged subtle nods and determined stares, encouraging Lola to cooperate without saying anything. Zac observed a veterinarian pick up a syringe and prepare some medication. “What’s that for?” Zac inquired, his voice low. “Something to help Lola relax,” the vet promptly responded, as everyone hoped this would lead to a breakthrough and alleviate her suffering.

Zac couldn’t help but worry about Lola’s reaction to unexpected movements. Just then, Lola let out another piercing growl that echoed throughout the enclosure. Zac winced at the sound, carefully watching the veterinarians’ reactions. They hesitated briefly before continuing their cautious approach, hoping Lola would settle long enough for them to assist her properly.
