Feelings

I don’t think people realize how much a veterinarian cares. Thinking in regards to how hard it is to make that final decision for your pet, not knowing when the right time is. We have all been there, we know how truly hard it is, we all have pets of our own that we have had to make that decision for. Helping someone else’s pet to pass over is something that we cherish. It is not something that we take lightly and it is something that we rarely want to do. Some of these pets we have cared for since they were puppies or kittens, helped them through illness and given their yearly exams and vaccines for years. Helping owners to do everything in their means to make sure that they have done everything they can for their pet before making that final decision. Wishing and hoping for miracles, so they can help them for just a little longer. Trying so very hard to give the owners all the time they can with their pet. Feeling all of the anguish that owner is going through and only trying to make the journey as comfortable as possible. Most veterinarians and their staff go through this process as many times in a week as some people do in their entire lives. Feeling all the emotions over and over again with each pet.
