Pets also have their final wishes Veterinarians who euthanize elderly or sick animals are aware of this.
Twitter user Jesse Dietrich asked a veterinarian, “What’s the hardest part of your job?”
The vet replied, “The hardest part is seeing elderly or sick animals searching for their owners before being euthanized.”
In fact, 90% of owners don’t want to be in the same room as their dying pets.
People avoid being present when their pets pass away.
However, they don’t realize that pets truly need them in their last moments.
Staff at Hillcrest Animal Hospital in South Africa are urging all pet owners.
Vets are urging owners to stay by their pets until the end.
Facing death before someone is inevitable. Remember that you were the center of their life.
Animals are family members too.
No matter how difficult the situation, don’t neglect it.
Don’t let them die in a room with strangers or in a place they dislike.
Witnessing such situations is extremely painful for veterinarians.
When owners leave the room, pets can’t look into their eyes in their final moments.
They can’t understand why their owners left.
They need comfort in their last moments.
Vets do their best to minimize their fear, but they are strangers to them.
Don’t act cowardly because you find it hard to witness death.
Think about your pets.
Endure their pain for their sake.
Stay with them until the end.
