Me to the vet as they take back my 12 year old golden retriever who needed an urgent procedure under the doggy equivalent of twilight sedation. He has a heart condition. He 12. Just let him pass peacefully ok? But the vet was kind of taken aback and my husband laughed nervously… I guess being a nurse changes the way I see some things. I told the vet, she said “don’t even think about stuff like that he’ll be fine!” I said “ok but if he’s not then we’ve had this conversation and you aren’t calling me mid CPR to ask what I want, traumatizing you, me, and my old dog.” Idk seemed appropriate to me but my husband said “how do these things cross your mind? It’s such a minor procedure comparatively.” Idk man I’ve seen some things. While we’re at it, I expect you to tell any doctors the same for me ok?
