How to thank ER vets.

Post date: 2024-03-23 15:52:37

My dog died last Saturday unexpectedly. I had to take him to a 24/7 Vet ER. They treated him like he was a person and I need to thank them though I don't know who they are. Help me. More inside. Warning - pet death talk.

My dog 11.5 yr old Ramses collapsed last Saturday afternoon. He was alert but could not move other than breathing, moving his eyes and wagging his tail at his buddy, my Dad. I knew I had to take him to an ER vet. I did. It was traumatic. They came out to take Ramses out of the bed of our truck (he was 85lbs) onto a doggie stretcher, and into the ER. I remember so clearly that as they took him in, I saw as the doors opened, the staff was waiting around the ER door in a semi-circle for their patient, just like I've seen health professionals do at human ERs. It is, and, was, so meaningful. He died shortly after entry into the ER, though the staff went into immediate action, again, just like a human ER.

The vet clinic was not his regular vet clinic. I have the name of the vet that saw him that day from my receipt ( she talked to me but I never registered her image or her name at the time) but I don't know the staff. I want to thank those staff in particular as well. I want the them to know how much it meant to me that they were just as ready as for a human ER patient. I want to thank those people in particular for their service.

They didn't even charge me for the regular stabilization charge since he died so soon. I only paid for his cremation charges.

How do I go about this? Thank you for letting me talk about this.
