Guest daniellering Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Hi, My dear Gracie is in the end stages of renal failure. I am trying to figure out when is the right time. She hates our vet and I don't want to traumatize her by euthanizing her there. I'd like to do it at home when the time comes. I've looked around on the internet for mobile vets that will come here, but I just can't tell whether they're any good or not. Does anyone have a recommendation for a mobile vet who is, well, perfect? I'm in McLean VA, so areas that are close are Arlington, Alexandria, Fairfax, Falls Church, Vienna, Bethesda, Southwest or Northwest DC. Thank you so much for any help!

KF_in_Georgia Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 If you like and trust your vet's opinion--even if Gracie doesn't--you might ask your vet for a recommendation.

Burpdog Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 do you mean, hates going to the vet? Not hates the vet? My vet comes out to the car. I park under a very nice tree in his parking lot.

My blog about grief The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not get over the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to. ― Elisabeth Kübler-Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
