Putting your pet to sleep
Deciding “when is it time” is one of the hardest decisions any Vet has to make. I’ve been a Vet for over 25 years and it still hasn’t gotten any easier after all this time. The same is true for every pet owner out there. I have met many people over the years and it just isn’t an easy thing to deal with.
As a mobile vet coming to owners homes, at home Euthanasia is something I am asked to do very often. Probably because it allows your pet to spend its last moments in the comfort of his/her familiar surroundings and near family and loved ones.
The most common question I get asked concerning Euthanasia is “how do I know when it is time”. The best answer that I have ever been able to give is “ it all depends on quality of life”.
If you get the feeling that your pet suffering and no longer enjoying life then trust your inner voice and get some advice from a Vet to help you make that decision. Even just talking about this can help and you will know what to do when the time is right.
If you are in this situation and aren’t sure or just plain want someone to talk to please feel free to call 08 82816400 and I will make time to talk with you.
Sincerely,
Ken Robinson
