Last night, Dr Suzen came to our home where we had a beloved member of our family - Keisha a 13 year old Tonkinese cat who had been in intermittent distress with a chronic cough. These spasms left her gasping for breath, terrified, wide eyed and we believed each one would kill her... She had had tons of specialist vet care and the last visi to the local vet discovered lymphoma. We made that terrible decision - with expert input and decided to free her of her misery. Having used Vets2Home twice before, years ago, we did not hesitate to call them again (and they were recommended by our vets). Dr Suzan is wonderful. Respectful, reverent, perceptive, gentle, tender, patient - takes stock of you and the patient slowly before taking any action. She explains what will happen; reassures you and gives you confidence you are doing the right thing. Keisha had an initial injection which put her nice and slowly into a deep coma - with us stroking her and saying how much we loved her. Only when she was at this stage, in a very deep sleep, did Dr Suzen double check that she was hardly with us and gave her one small last injection which put Keisha to sleep forever, very quickly. Dr Suzen was at pains to give us all the time we needed and to go at our own pace. The atmosphere was peaceful, Keisha was on her familiar mat in her familiar surrounds and had the best death she could possibly have. All animals deserve this kind of parting from life (and humans too). Vets2 Home were the first to carry out home euthanasia in UK and we always recommend them. This is the last declaration of love you can give to thank your pet for how they have enriched your life and it leaves you better able to manage the loss. I cannot imagine anyone, ever, subjecting this family member to a visit via a car journey to the (often perceived) scary vets for their last experience. There is no contest. Please let Vets2Home use their fantastic expertise and kindness to work with you for that last goodbye at home.
