vets and euthanasia what's the right thing to do [Music] hello welcome back to my channel if you're new welcome click there to subscribe hit the bell icon for notifications then we click the link directly in the box below i can send you a copy of my free book

euthanasia it's one of those big big subjects that most of us have a hard time talking about in fact it's probably not talked about near enough especially in relation to your veterinarian your dog your cat and you know what does

it mean to end your pet's life and is it the right thing to do and do vets you know do they struggle with that you're watching this YouTube channel I suspect you're a pretty dedicated pet parent perhaps you have a small dog like Tula

like little Tula you know who I would do anything for I get you're super thoughtful any decision involving your pet is going to be made with a huge degree of thought it's not something that you're not treating them like a lifestyle they've

got to fit into your lifestyle the topic of euthanasia comes up you're gonna put a whole lot of thought into it you know but not every client is like that one 2018 study found that 80 of vets they're saying that not every euthanasia

is ethical in terms of there are euthanasias that they've had to perform that or they've been asked to perform that in their opinion probably shouldn't be happening there are these moral dilemmas that come up I mean I can think back in veterinary

practice, you know, a client is moving somewhere and it just so happens that you know their cat has been all of a sudden peeing in the house and they've tried everything, there's nothing else they can do. Can you euthanize them, or you know their dog is in, like, say

they've got a little dog, like, Tula, say there's been some type of accident injury, there's been, you know, a broken femur, clearly a bone that could be fixed with surgery, but they just, they don't have the money right, so they're in a position where

like, you know, you as a vet, you could fix it, but you've got a client that just doesn't have the funds to do that, so like what are your options as a veterinarian? You can clearly, you know, not choose to euthanize an animal

and it's really, it's up to the individual professional whether they're making that decision or not. The clients can just come in and say, you know, 'I'm moving up north, yeah, can you euthanize Fluffy?' Like obviously you as a professional can make that decision and say like, 'No,

this won't happen.' And many veterinarians do, but you're still, you know, having to make those decisions in those choices, and you're stuck in that, you know, big, you know, being the one to decide does this animal live or not, but when is the right time to euthanize

an animal? I mean, it's not always that clear-cut, and you know, here are veterinarians, you know, making these daily life decisions and it's clearly, it kind of weighs on so many people when you're sort of stuck in this conundrum of like

okay maybe if I just try this more diagnostic test or maybe we try this treatment then this dog you know well Tula might be okay or I gave you know maybe I tried this one more thing for this chronic bombing maybe Murray might be okay like you're

kind of stuck in that it's not 100% clear so it really is this you know this huge moral stress that you know many veterans face on a daily basis so there then you end up with you know compassion fatigue I mean a big part of it is

you know taking all these all of this on you know you as a professional taking all that stuff on and like here it is you're holding you know this dog's life and your balance and that dog means so much to that whole family so you can see it can be a pretty

challenging uh profession to work in if you have a veterinarian that refuses to euthanize an animal he or she probably has a pretty darn good reason for that and you know he's had to think you know strong and hard around

the decision to do that I mean I recall being in practice and you've had a client bringing in animals that are you know less than well cared for and obviously older animal like clearly losing weight they're saying he or she can please euthanize my animal

sometimes you're kind of left with what happened if I don't euthanize that dog or I don't euthanize that cat does that then mean that you know he's gonna take it out back and his life won't end

peacefully via euthanasia, like you're you're trying to weigh all those decisions, so it's not just, you know, the simple decision or not of, you know, injecting euthanol. It's a hard decision to make and, you know, I practiced for nearly 20

years, I didn't get any easier and, you know, I that's one thing I definitely value that from the profession, to be able to be able to help animals that were in distress, like they people have that option, but it doesn't mean it's easy. Thanks for

안락사에 대한 소개와 수의학 실습에서의 윤리적 고려 사항.

안락사는 어려운 주제이며, 특히 반려동물과 수의사와 관련해서는 거의 논의되지 않는 주제입니다.

헌신적인 반려동물 소유자는 안락사를 신중하게 고려하지만 모든 고객이 안락사를 고려하는 것은 아닙니다.

2018년 연구에 따르면 수의사의 80%가 모든 안락사 사례가 윤리적인 것은 아니라고 생각하는 것으로 나타났습니다.

수의사는 필요한 치료를 위한 이사 또는 재정적 제약으로 인한 안락사 요청과 같은 도덕적 딜레마에 직면합니다.

안락사 결정에 있어 수의사의 역할과 관련 과제에 대해 알아보세요.

수의사는 안락사 요청을 거부할 수 있지만, 동물의 운명을 결정해야 하는 책임이 있습니다.

안락사의 적절한 시기를 결정하는 것은 복잡하고 항상 명확한 것은 아닙니다.

수의사는 안락사 전에 추가 검사나 치료를 고려해야 하는 도덕적 스트레스에 직면하는 경우가 많습니다.

이러한 도덕적 스트레스는 연민 피로로 이어지며, 수의사들은 이러한 결정의 무게를 감당해야 합니다.

안락사를 거부하는 수의사는 타당한 이유가 있으며 신중하게 결정을 내립니다.

수의사들은 안락사를 거부할 경우 동물 복지에 대한 우려로 고민합니다.

안락사 결정에는 단순히 안락사를 시행하는 것뿐만 아니라 동물의 전반적인 안녕과 고통의 가능성까지 고려해야 합니다.

수년간의 경험에도 불구하고 이 결정은 여전히 어렵고, 수의사들은 감정적으로 큰 타격을 입습니다.
