OSoSwift Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 (edited) For me there is nothing unproffessional about a vet or nurse showing emotion or maybe shedding the odd tear. A full on balling session yes, but a show of emotion or a tear, no. It shows they are compassionate, care and the animal means more than just another number to them.

jrm88 Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 It is hard when we have an emotional attachment to the pet and enjoy seeing the client as well. I work in a small clinic so I know most of our clients/pets (and definitely have my favourite pets/people!) I do get teary in those euthanasias where I have a relationship with the pet and client. I always console myself with the thought that they are no longer in pain/suffering and what we have done is provide peace for that animal. I really try my hardest to try and console our clients and offer my support as best I can as I know what a heartbreaking time they are going through I feel I do this fairly well and I am proud of what I do in my job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
