Euthanasia

[June_O]

I have two pets that have been together since they were babies and now are 14 years old. One has been treated by the vet for the last year for a disease that is not going to get better but can be managed with strong anti-inflammatory drugs Problem is these drugs can cause liver damage and he’s now on the strongest dose possible, with other complimentary procedures, but his pain over the last couple of months is increasing. The vet has advised Euthanasia within the next few weeks would be the kindest outcome and it will be done at home. I have been conflicting advice on whether I should allow his ‘mate’ to see the body or not. I have no idea what to do and would welcome some advice from anyone who has been in a similar situation. Thanks. x

Horses understand better when they see them. They don't "search" so much if they know. Really sorry you are in this position though x
