So a veterinarian was asked what the most difficult part of his job was....

to you and the pet owners


but mainly you

Cowards

Meh.

Animals being put down aren't usually frantic.

I've worked at a vet. Most people want to be with their animal when we give the shot

Last pet I had put down was when I was in high school and I held my dog while they injected him and he went to sleep.

I'll do the same with the pets I have now when it's their time.

Had to put down wife’s Yorkie 2 days ago. Lung disease. Mouth disease, skin disease, windpipe infections from the mouth diseases/infections. He was 15 years old. I had to talk her into it because his quality of life was just not what it needed to be

She took it really hard. Kids were crying. Kids (8 and 6) got to say goodbye to him but took them out of the room for it to be done. Wife was in there with him when it was time. It was a rough day. My heart was broken for her.

Jesus I can't believe I read this at 1am

I’ve had two pets that I’ve had to take to be put down and I stayed with both. One was our twelve year old Rottie that I held when she took her last breath, and a cat that I petted as she looked at me while on the table. Both very hard to do but I was glad that I was with them. Kids and wife said their goodbyes beforehand but were not in the room. That would have been too much for the youngsters.

Apparently people get upset

Thanks. Now I feel like shite. I loved that cat, but I couldn't have them female vets watching me bawl. Of course, that could have gotten me another pussy. Oh well...

Now I regret not being with my cat when he was put down. Found him when I was 3 and he was my best friend for 15 years. I still get teary eyed when I think about him.
