Has anyone been to a vet recently, how do they work now?

I'm just wondering how it works taking your pet to a vet?

I have to take my cat and have been putting it off the last week, because I know the likelihood is she wont be coming home with me.

I read something that you cant be there when they put your animal down. You just say goodbye and hand them over and it just breaks my heart thinking i'd have to do that.

Just wondered if anyone had any experience, thanks

I’m so sorry @Dogman2020. That must have been so hard x

I'm so so sorry OP it's absolutely heartbreaking when you loose a pet.

I always light a candle and find a special little place in the garden where you can call it his little place and keep it nice or put a rose bush there or something nice, always gives me comfort. Keep talking about the times your cat made you love and remember how much he was loved, I know it's not easy op just remember you gave him the best life and he knew that 💐💐

Sorry I meant she / her

Oh no. It’s so hard when they go and awful explaining to the DC.
I’m sorry you couldn’t hold her while she went but she would have been heavily sedated and having the most amazing cat dreams.
You’ve done the very kindest thing for her.

I'm so sorry. You must be heartbroken. Its such a difficult thing to do.

We had to have our beautiful cat put to sleep last Thursday.

My husband and the kids were able to drive in and say their goodbyes in the car then I went into the vets and held him while he was sedated. He then was taken out the room.
I then brought him home to be buried.

There's something about your 6ft 16 year old boy helping as much as he can then breaking down that just breaks the heart.

We are all so very sad. Take time to grieve. It's such a loss and of course all made a little more difficult in this time.
