End Of Life Care For Pets
As your pet nears the end of his or her life, you may not be aware of the emotional difficulties ahead of you. The golden years can be difficult for your pet, especially if he or she is diagnosed with a terminal illness. You want to minimize your pet's pain and discomfort as much as possible. This is where palliative pet care comes in. Our doctors and staff at Willow Glen Pet Hospital are here to help make your pet's final days as peaceful as possible. If you live in or around San Jose or Willow Glen and have an older pet with health issues, contact our team today.
Managing Pet Pain
Pets often hide their pain. They may avoid whimpering or crying, fearing it shows weakness. Dr. Gillon will do everything possible to provide palliative care that reduces pain when a cure is not an option. Our veterinarian might recommend pet euthanasia to prevent your pet from suffering.
Pet Euthanasia
You might consider euthanasia for your pet. This process is painless and peaceful, allowing your pet to pass away without awareness. Before administering the medication, we will sedate your pet. The entire procedure takes just a few seconds. For many pets with terminal illnesses, euthanasia becomes the most humane option after exploring all treatment possibilities.
What Does Palliative Pet Care Include?
End-of-life care focuses on minimizing pain and discomfort. This involves diagnosing health issues and keeping your pet comfortable. Our veterinarian will address mobility concerns and any side effects, like pressure sores. You can also participate in your pet's care. We will guide you on how to make your pet comfortable and meet their healthcare needs.
