There are people who decide to put a pet down when the pet becomes "inconvenient" and many vets will refuse to do that type of thing. I am assuming your vet knows what the issues are with your pet and agrees that it does need to be done. I could perhaps see why they would make you wait if your were not already a client but if they agree that the animal needs to be put down I think it is unkind to both you and the pet to have to wait that length of time.
Our vets have their clients come in at the end of office hours so they don't have to be around other people and can grieve without the concern of others watching. They will do it within 48 hours of the request as it is not scheduled during the regular appointment hours. |
