The animal that was treated above went up to it&#39;s insurance limit, some owners just don&#39;t have the money for that kind of intensive care.</p> <p>As far as emotional responses to treatment of animals it just shows we are normal and we care. Anyone who doesn&#39;t question themselves or the care of animals needs to have a break and maybe think of a career change.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/94258?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 23 Aug 2010 23:14:56 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:54c72795-8fb5-466c-a612-8a455a7e0ad5Mrs Dot Dot<p>Awful and sad situation for you, your vet&nbsp;and the owners... whoever decided what and/or when, the outcome would have probably been the same... euthanasia...... You have to go by what the owners decide, you can only advise, the right thing was done whether it was then or 48 hours later... a situation out of your control so not your fault<img src="http://www.vetnurse.co.uk/emoticons/new/Happy_smiley.png" alt="Smile" /><img src="http://www.vetnurse.co.uk/emoticons/new/Sad_smiley.png" alt="Sad" /></p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
