People who have or who currently work at a vet's office: How do you and other staff deal with your own emotions when people bring in their pets to euthanize?

Asked by jca (36062points) July 9th, 2011

When people bring in pets that may not be that sick, just that maybe they cannot continue to pay for vet bills or care, and so they decide to euthanize the pet, how do you deal with it? I would imagine it’s heartbreaking to watch the pet be euthanized, but from a practical standpoint you can’t “rescue” each one. How do you and the other staff members deal with it?
