Ok back to the original question- what I hate most about my job are euthanasias - my co- workers know this and try and take the euthanasias if possible. One day I had 8 and that day just about killed me. I treated a block cat a few months ago and he re blocked- the owner was so sweet I could not euthanize the cat so I paid for a PU surgery, unfortunately the cat came back a week later with diabetes and ended up getting euthanized which made me very sad.

Oh dear God, if I worked midnights at an ER hospital again, my husband would have a cow. That was SO short lived.

Aggie, call me crazy and weird (my coworkers do), but I don’t know why or where the connection comes from or if there is a connection to something else? - but I really, really struggle when I have to put a sick patient down when they come in wearing a cute sweater or a collar with a bell on it. I’m tearing up right now thinking about it. I lose it every time. I’ve gotten better emotionally at euthanizing sick patients, but when there’s cute accessories attached to them, I still have a hard time with that. I have NO idea why that is.
