The Pet Doctor - Episode 304 Preparing for and Recovering from the Loss of a Pet

I have a very good friend who has been the pet parent for 7 Australian shepherds and 2 cats since I have known her. The care and love that she has bestowed on all of them has been touching to observe and it has always been a pleasure to assist her in keeping her kids healthy. When the time came to let each leave her side, I have watched her go through agonizing pain. Each time she has moved forward but the pace has been slower and slower and her pain has become debilitating. Dr. Liz Fernandez is a certified hospice and palliative care practitioner. Several years ago she wrote a marvelous book, “Sacred Gifts of a Short Life, Uncovering the gifts of our Pets End of Life Journeys”. She continues to assist pet parents and veterinarians in handling transitions with grace and peace.EPISODE NOTES: Preparing for and Recovering from the Loss of a PetBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-pet-doctor-keeping-your-pets-healthy-pet-wellness-pet-life-radio-original--6669420/support.
