Episode 67: When it is time to say goodbye. A frank discussion on pet euthanasia with Dr Kathleen Cooney.
Manage episode 336647171 series 2896284
If you have been a listener of the Vetpodcast for a while you may recall an episode we recorded back in early 2021 with Dr Melissa Trupia discussing end of life decisions and treatment. In this episode we are taking the inevitable next step today and discussing euthanasia. It is a topic that perhaps isn’t discussed as often as it should because but lets face it, almost all pet owners have to go through this process at least once in their pet owning life. I have a broad reaching discussion with Dr Kathleen Cooney, veterinarian, founder and Director of Education for The Companion Animal Euthanasia Training Academy. This discussion may be a bit confronting in places to some people but fore warned is fore armed.
We talk about
· what makes a good euthanasia?
· as an owner, how to prepare for your pet’s euthanasia?
· pre-euthanasia sedation – why it is now considered “best practice”
· should you be present for the final act?
· the mechanics of euthanasia
· what are your options with your deceased pet’s body?
· what about grief support?
Whether you are a pet owner or a veterinary professional, you should probably have a listen to this.
