The job of a veterinarian can be one of the most beautiful, since their job is to restore health to pets, and make their tails wag again with happiness.
Imagining life without our fallen friends can be difficult, but what few can overcome is that the most painful moment is suffered by the same little dogs just before they die, what goes through their minds and hearts in those moments makes anyone cry.
Statements by a state veterinarian about what happens in the minds of animals when they have to put them to sleep forever to avoid so much pain, have turned the world upside down.
Jessi Dietrich, a young woman from Koxville, Texas, asked her veterinarian what the hardest part of her job was, and the veterinarian replied that she would definitely euthanize her puppy.
When it comes to putting the dog to sleep, most of its owners cannot stand being in the same room, so the pet is left alone with the veterinary team at the time of its death.
It is truly devastating that in the last moments of the puppy’s life, he frantically tries to find his children with his gaze, but they are not there to comfort him.
The veterinarian’s harsh revelations have broken the hearts of millions of people on social media, after being widely shared on Twitter, and reaching more than 40 thousand retweets and more than 140 thousand likes .
The tweet reached several employees of the Hillcrest Veterinary Hospital, located in South Africa. For this reason, the staff of the hospital made a post on their Facebook page, giving several tips to cope with the difficult death of the dog:
“When you have a pet, it is inevitable, most of the time, that it will die before you do. So, when you feel that you have to take your pet to the vet to finally get rid of it, I want you to know something…”
“You have been the scepter of my world throughout my entire life. They were a part of you, but they knew you like family. Please don’t let them. Don’t make me go from life to death with strangers, in places they don’t like,” the post reads.
In such painful moments, we must give all the necessary support to these loved ones, at least as a just reward for so many years of fidelity and love on our side.
Just seeing you and saying goodbye to you will be the best balm for them for their sweet departure, after so many years together. Saying goodbye to you and comforting them until their last breath is the best tribute we can give them.
We will be in your sorrows and will look for your face with our gaze until the rainbow crosses
Although this veterinarian’s post has made many parents cry, it has cleared up many doubts about what the puppies in this pain really mean. It is truly touching, the love of these loyal beings transcends everything, but let’s not leave them alone.
