Ask anyone working in the medical field why they chose their profession and a vast majority will tell you that they want to help. As well as saving lives, easing pain and curing diseases, there’s the harrowing responsibility of dealing with death and for vets, losing a life can be at their own hands. Sometimes, there’s no choice but to put a sick animal down.

Twitter user Jessi Dietrich said that she had asked her vet to share the hardest part about his job, and she shared his response, “He said when he has to put an animal down 90% of owners don’t actually want to be in the room when he injects them so the animal’s last moments are usually them frantically looking around for their owners & tbh that broke me (sic)”

Another vet commented on the post, reaching out to pet owners: “Do not make them transition from life to death in a room of strangers in a place they don’t like,” the vet wrote. “The thing you people need to know that most of you don’t is that THEY SEARCH FOR YOU WHEN YOU LEAVE THEM BEHIND!!!!”

Apologies for your shattered heart.
