Yes it is, I may not be talking about a pet but my son. A 28wk preemie and he "forgets" to breathe often in the NICU...it's terrifying when I visit and he has a episode and one time it was traumatic for me to see. After 3mos he was able to comfortably discharge but the fear was always there I was terrified I would wake up and he's gone or we are just sitting there holding him and he not breathing...it never happened but I had severe PPA I never slept and had hawk eyes on him for months. It's awful to do everything you can and think it's going well and just suddenly they are gone, I'm glad I never had to experience this if anything I did lose a very beautiful pup to parvo my mom refused to take to a vet when I was a kid

Only in that you weren't right there with them. I think watching my little dog suddenly having seizures and dropping into a continuous one before I could get him to the vet may have been worse than finding him deceased when I woke up. No sure about that though...either would be just awful. Don't plan on getting another on because I'm older. Could maybe make an exception for an elderly shelter dog, so am avoiding shelters for now because I might want to bring them all home, which isn't realistic.

I hope all my animals die peacefully in their sleep.. it's the best way to go. But my last cat had to be rushed to the emergency vet and died, it was a lot worse having them die struggling, scared, in pain, and not being able to do anything for them.

I really thought Beanie would have pulled through. 😞

@@StephInOttawaYes, if you're going to die, dying in your sleep is one of the best ways to go. It's peaceful.

You need empathy to be a vet, as animals can't talk or tell us what's wrong with them.. A vet without empathy is a bad vet.

Thats why they went through the training

I would love to see the operations with out being blurry

What is wrong with people taking there dogs out when it's hot outside

I'm so so sorry to hear this. Hoping that your baby passed from old age rather than it being something completely unexpected :( Doesn't make it feel any better but the unexpected losses hit so much harder at first. I work at a vet clinic and we lost a patient during a routine spay operation. She was a brachycephalic pet being a persian cat, which caused various complications to arise. Almost always, brachycephalic patients can be easily taken through anesthetic procedures by our vet and us as a team being proactive and administering medications much earlier than you would to your normal patient because these brachycephalic animals have such a hard time getting air into their lungs (if you wait as long as you do for normal patients to confirm a negative pattern occurring, it can make it even more difficult to get them back on track because their unconscious bodies have to work at least twice as hard as a normal patient to get air into and out of their lungs). However, for this unlucky kitten, the odds just weren't in her favor. She crashed rapidly on us seemingly out of nowhere. Literally one second she was doing just fine, and within a couple seconds, she had almost completely crashed. We all agree there must have been some kind of warning sign we missed, but even our seasoned and experienced doctor of 30+ years stated she had no idea it was about to happen and was completely unprepared for it. We did everything we could to bring her back, and we even *did* successfully bring her back for about 10 seconds, but she unfortunately left us once again and we were unable to keep her with us. It was absolutely gut-wrenching to lose a patient like that. She was only 8 months old. I wish so badly that there was something more we could have done, but sometimes these things just happen. I hated us having to tell her owner that she wouldn't be coming home. I hated even more that we had to have that conversation via phone rather than in person, but it would've also been cruel for her to arrive at the clinic to pick up her baby only to be told that her baby had passed on the table. Losing patients and pets when you're not "supposed" to is the absolute worst feeling. I'll never get over that part of the job as a pet owner and as a veterinary care provider

Additionally, may your baby rest in peace. Wishing you comfort in this difficult time :(

@@kaileyallen4365 thanks for the kind words. It was unexpected. Take care

So sorry for your loss. Best wishes from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I hear you. I had a cat who was senior when I got him but he was an absolute sweetheart. But then one day his back legs stopped working and when I took him to the vet they told me a blood clot had become lodged in his spine and caused him to be paralyzed. I was told he would only get worse and I made the difficult decision to put him down.

@@fionawimber1028 Sad to hear that. I believe he was thankful to you for adopting a senior cat and had the best life with you.

@@henaimtiyaz4189 I hope so. He was a street cat and lived outdoors most of his life before I adopted him. Mitscher I called him for the WW2 admiral. (all my cats have historical names) He was a lap snuggler!

I'm so sorry to hear that

​@@fionawimber1028I 'm sorry

Bless you and thank you ❤❤❤

I should have loved to become a Vet but unfortunately back in those days, there were very few vets and a female had no chance. I am now 85 but sadly it was not meant to be.

Sorry, Jesus will evaluate your heart more than anything. He knows it well. So did all those little animals that you gave love to along the way. God put you where he needed you most 🙏

@cathymorley9273 Assuming a random stranger has the same religious belief you do is a little weird, ya know.

​@@veronicacrabtreehill6608 so sorry about your dream not coming true xx

Sadly they ofteen don't when the public try and care for them and feed them cows milk. Best thing to do is take them straight to a vet or a wildlife carer. Macropods are very tricky to care for. Chris did everything he could to help Beanie but sadly the odds were against Beanie. He may have stood a chance if taken straight to a vets.

@@xenalovesares you do know that dr. Chris Brown IS a vet, right?

@@Sabouma28 yes my comment was not saying anything about him doing anything wrong I am talking about the people who fed him cows milk for three days instead of taking him straight to the vet. 🙄

It's so hard to watch the video and hear all their stories, knowing that each of them will die.

Yes, I don't have enough pictures of my little pupper who recently passed, despite his long life and me having an I-phone no less.

Yeah, I see your point there. But you've got a head start on reality anyway. Thankfully, it won't all be like this.

I had to watch it in parts, I'm just finishing it now.

rip the dogs though it was really sad

For some people it helps. You aren't replacing the dog you lost, because you could never replace them, but you are starting a journey with a new family member.

Oh no that's sad😢😭 how old is your dog and what has she or he got?

I'm so sorry.... I wish there was something I could do to let your darling stay with you....... sending you my love and praying for you both❤

I'm so sorry...♡♡
