Good article how vets can help relieve the pain and sting of losing a beloved pet.  Pet loss grief counseling can help others overcome grief as well but its important to start with the vet and the initial loss.

The article, “Veterinarians can help ease the pain of losing a pet, says researcher”, by  Kate Bueckert states,

“Anyone who has had to put down a pet knows it can be a gut-wrenching experience.

Losing a pet is painful.  The process of caring for a dying pet can take an emotional toll as one awaits the inevitable.  It is truly sad to see an older pet not be himself and then have to come to the ultimate decision of letting go.

The article, “For Veterinarians, Caring For Sick Pets And Grieving Owners Takes A Toll”, by Kasia Galazka states

“When I walked dogs at a Chicago animal shelter, I wondered how each one got there. Whether a stitched-up pup shirked from my touch or happily greeted me tongue-first, my eyes would well up with salt. I wanted to keep them all.”

This is a horrifying nightmare for pet owners.  Most of us have experienced it. I have with my Siberian Huskies and it puts a pit in your stomach.

The anticipatory grief, the imaginary scenarios all dance in our minds.  It can be sometimes an unresolved issue.

I recall, one time we actually found a stray Siberian Husky and as Husky people took him in.  We put out ads, notified individuals in the community yet he was never picked up by  an owner.  I cannot imagine the pain of the owner, but the husky who recently passed lived a happy 6 years with us, his new family.  This is best scenario we can dream of when we lose a pet, but the scary dreams are always there

Two weeks ago my husband was playing with our dog, Amos, when he felt a lump – a huge lump – on his side.  When I say huge, I mean a humongous golf-ball sized lump that came out of nowhere. Seriously, nowhere; a few days before there was nothing and then suddenly there’s this enormous lump.
