End of Life Care
Having an aging pet that is in decline or a pet that has been diagnosed with a terminal illness is one of the most difficult experiences a pet parent can go through. During these painful times, it is important to focus on making your pet’s last days calm and loving with as little discomfort as possible.
Pet hospice is an option when you have exhausted all treatment alternatives and a cure is not possible. The goal at this stage is to make your pet’s final days more pleasant through the use of pain medication, dietary strategies, and human love and attention. We will work with you to help you provide the home care needed to keep your pet as comfortable as possible.
Escatawpa Animal Clinic provides euthanasia services for pets who have been evaluated and who have been determined to be suffering, have a poor quality of life, and/or are in the end stages of life. Euthanasia provides a painless, humane, and gentle death that puts an end to their suffering. Our veterinarian’s method for euthanasia is equivalent to undergoing general anesthesia for a surgical procedure and takes only a matter of seconds. Your pet will not experience pain and will have no awareness of the end of life.
Before you go through one more day of agonizing over your decision, please contact us about an evaluation of your pet’s condition.
