Aunt B, with all due respect, you are nuts.
I pity your ailing, old parents as you took care of them.
Wow. You are a jack ass and have no idea of which you speak. Looks like FR has been filled with idiots.
Good bye.
Thanks for your comment to Aunt B. Have to agree...Aunt B is nuts.
My daughter specializes in pet pain management and this article is exactly right. Pets in pain really affect the pet owners as much or more and Vets have to work with both the animal and human side of the suffering.
I was going to thank Aunt B for posting this; my thanks are tepid because of her awful comment.
Being in my 60s, our family has had to deal with elderly ailing parents as well as the loss of pets, so we know what it takes in both cases. We just put our 14 year old dog down a couple months ago and it is a terrible decision to have to make.
I agree.
However, look at this statement from the expert.
We found that individuals with a chronically or terminally ill pet showed greater caregiver burden compared to those with a healthy pet
I think a five year old would know that! I hope we didn’t spend taxpayer money to discover the obvious again.
