Watching your pet struggle with illness or old age can be difficult, which is why we wanted to provide some information on end of life care to offer some solace during this tough time.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Is End of Life?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019ve had pets or you are familiar with pet care, you may realize that a pet&#8217;s life is loosely categorized into three stages: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.allcreaturesvetbrooklyn.com\/services\/puppy-kitten-care.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">puppy\/kittenhood<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, adult, and senior. The fourth stage is end of life, and has less to do with age and more to do with the pet\u2019s condition. End of life care for pets focuses not on curing disease, but on maximizing comfort and minimizing suffering while providing a collaborative partnership with the pet\u2019s owner. At <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.allcreaturesvetbrooklyn.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All Creatures Veterinary Hospital of Brooklyn<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, we provide end-of-life-assistance through hospice care and palliative care. <\/span><!--more--><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Patient Considerations<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Patients who are considered candidates for hospice or palliative care have one or a combination of the following conditions:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Terminal disease diagnosis<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chronic progressive disease<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chronic disability<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Terminal geriatric status, signaled by failure to thrive<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a patient passes from palliative care to hospice care, it is important to take into consideration their social, physical, and emotional needs. As a team, we strive to work with you to discuss and have a plan for the following:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Social needs \u2013<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Pets who are at the end of their life still need interaction with their families, other pets, and mental stimulation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Emotional needs \u2013<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> We want to provide dignity, consider the pet\u2019s will to live, and reduce their stress.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Physical needs \u2013<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Considerations for the physical comfort of end of life care patients include <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.allcreaturesvetbrooklyn.com\/services\/pain-management-laser-therapy.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">pain management<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, management of clinical signs, nutrition, mobility, safety, and hygiene.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If we can address all these three considerations for pets at the end of their life, we\u2019ll be working together to help make them as comfortable as possible in their last days.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Owner Considerations<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your role as a caregiver to your pet at end of life is crucial. This is normally a trying and emotional time for pet owners. We will focus on helping by making sure we talk about all that is involved with caring for your pet, and that you feel comfortable and have the tools you need to cope. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other considerations may include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What treatments should and can occur at home<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Specifics of administering home care with hands-on instruction<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your own safety and hygiene<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Discussing your home environment and any modifications that may need to occur to care for an end of life pet<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Periodic plan assessments <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If and when euthanasia will be advisable<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Euthanasia<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Euthanasia is often a decision that pet owners struggle with, and we can talk to you about how to make this decision, and how to help your family and children with it. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes time to euthanize, we\u2019ll be there every step of the way. Our goal is to provide a dignified and compassionate passing, and we have the tools to do this. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Processing Grief<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Grief is a universal and dynamic process, and is an important consideration as we discuss euthanasia. We offer several resources to help you process grief, as we know that sometimes pet owners are surprised by the depth of their grief. If you need more help with this, we can also recommend professional grief support counseling, if you would like to explore it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are some resources for you in the meantime:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.allcreaturesvetbrooklyn.com\/candles\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Light a candle<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.allcreaturesvetbrooklyn.com\/petmems\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pet memorial<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.avma.org\/public\/PetCare\/Pages\/pet-loss.aspx\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pet loss<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.allcreaturesvetbrooklyn.com\/contact-us\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Give us a call<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> if you would like more information about palliative and end of life care for pets.
