Video: Treating or Euthanizing Your Pet - What is the Best Choice?
by Dr. Chris
Deciding whether to treat or euthanize your pet is an extremely tough decision.
Adding to that difficulty is that pets are good at masking their symptoms. So even if they are painful, they might not necessarily show it.
Two big indicators of whether to treat or euthanize your pet could be attitude and appetite.
Other factors to consider are 1. their quality of life, 2. the amount of chronic pain they are experiencing, 3. Is the cancer they have terminal?
As this veterinarian in the video explains, euthanasia should be viewed as a way to prevent your pet from suffering unnecessarily.
