Day 4- The Sad Part

Today was a sad day at the Vet clinic. It was eye opening to see what a vet’s life is really like, the good and the bad. Today a dog had to be euthanized. (Not the dog pictured below!) The dog was brought in after the owners noticed she had trouble going to the bathroom, and the vet technicians read from her ultrasound that she had a tumor blocking her bladder. The vets told us that her owners would be given options as to what to do but putting her down would be the most humane option. Aesha and I were not in the room, but we did get to comfort the dog while she was waiting for her owners to bring her her favorite food. Although incredibly sad, it was important for us to see that these are the hard moments in vets life, and it’s not just cuddles and kisses from dogs. We did however, get plenty of that from Kit (the dog pictured below)!
