The 'last' Vet Visit . . . Options

[pablosmom]

i think what i have always thought about and dreaded, but thankfully kept in the back of my mind, is that last 'vet trip' you have to make with your baby. sometimes you feel better about it because you know your pet is suffering, but still, packing them up and getting in the car can be devastating enough.

i was somewhat lucky (if that is even a term that should be used in a case like this) in that my vet has a practice that allows a home visit for this very devastating occasion.

as horrible as this was, it was more soothing for me and less stressful for pablo, to be at home when the end came. he was laying on the couch which he so dearly loved to do and it was our home environment, with the t.v. on in the background like it ALWAYS IS, so it was kept as normal as possible.

i do not think i could have dealt with being in the vet's office and knowing how terrified pablo was of that place and putting him through that and ii just wish that more vets would considering doing this - i know its probably expensive but i think that considering the circumstances, if its something that is doable, then they should consider it, or at least offer the names of a service that will. i know that some mobile vets do this.

just something i was thinking about . . . .
