Pain and euthanasia don’t mix. The very definition of euthanasia includes pain-free at its core. Pain may sometimes find its way in, but doing everything we can to prevent it is job No. 1. Ask clients what’s important to them, and they’ll say their pet pain-free in the final moments. Vets say the same.
In this session: Kathleen Cooney, DVM, CHPV, CCFP, and the Companion Animal Euthanasia Training Academy (CAETA) lays the foundation for a pain-free passing each and every time. Special focus given to dogs and cats, though subthemes will emerge for all species. Let’s say “goodbye” to pain during death.
