What did you think of Dr Kate's stories? 🥺
Dr Kate is very compassionate towards the ANIMALS she is such a sweetheart God BLESS her,!!-
I think it was important to show. People see these cute stories and are like "I want to be a vet!" Which is great. But they need to know that death is part of that reality too.
people need to see the bad as long as the good and dr Kate is amazing
I like her. Compassionate and caring for both owner and pet. I know she felt bad about having to put Max to sleep, but he was silently suffering, and had multiple organ failure. She did what needed to be done. Death is part of this job. I used to be a vet tech myself, and the death part got to me. (Jan Griffiths).
They were great but what I'm wondering is whether pool therapy, ie, having Skittles make swimming movements in water wouldn't be another valuable tool in his rehabilitation?
The one good thing you can take from this is that Max had packed his bags already. Many pets don't have the privilege to come to that day when they decide "I'm pretty tired. I think I'll go now."
I love how you put it, thanks for that and so true
No one could have put "that" thought into "those" words, at that moment, other than YOU!!!! Good on ya mate!!!!!!!!!!!!
The very first dog i owned literally did this he left our home to go die somewhere and go to sleep forever thing is we searched for him and never found him we considered him to be dead and my father had the closest attachment he knew our dog did this intentionally and ran away so my father wouldnt see him in pain or had to bare putting him down due to old age he was around 13 years old it really devastated us because he was a smart dog but we never understood why he escaped on that night and now it made sense. He did use to sleep alot he did have major arthritis joint pain he was the most loyal companion i grew up with it was sad to experience that. The other dog we owned she had a brain tumour which hemraged and we took her to the vet and it was heart breaking to hear the news about our other dog suffering this we just noticed that lights made her walk off balance and that she went to go hide in dark places hardly ate/drank tail was droopy she was a timid dog by default but we never expected to hear that she had a brain tumour which ruptured and then yeah... we were forced to put her down i didnt have the stomach to go visit the vet to see her cos she was in immense pain i was like 15 at the time im currently 27 now but i just remember the vets telling us over the phone theres nothing we can do... we must put her down its so emotionally upsetting to experience your dog going through an emergency it really is
@@chrissy93x Sadly, our family fur baby did the same. She was 17 yrs old when she left the yard and never came back and we never found her. In all her life, she had never left the yard before so we knew she left to die as she had become ill. Sad.
Very true. My 14 year old pup stopped eating. Was just one day, but my partner and I had a conversation and decided that it was his time and we would take him to the vet to be put down in two days. The next morning I found that he had passed in his sleep. It was incredibly hard, but I think he knew that I was ready to let him go, so he felt okay letting go too.
The compassion she had for Max's suffering just shows her dedication to the animals in her care. What a wonderful vet you are Dr. Kate!
ANYONE having compassion for Max's suffering is a wonderful human being. Vet or not.
I agree,what a good vet,I had a dreadful experience with a vet when one of my dogs passed away,a most cruel and callous experience,one of the things she said to me was oh well you probably wouldn't have had him very long anyway,He was 7 years old,It was 2 and a half years ago and i still get upset by the whole thing
@@joannecannon5033 I feel with you.
Our cat was put down 9 months ago . She was a 17 plus.
The last days before she passed away, she couldn't walk on her back legs properly. They were so week . They gave way.
And she had lost a lot of weight.
The last 2 years we were a permanent visitor at the vet. Blood, kidney, liver good results. But slowly loosing weight and as I said , her back legs, and she didn't eat a lot.
Because of the weekend coming we phoned the vet.
Patrick and I were prepared.
But then all went so fast and she was gone .We both were holding her when she left us.
Once we had come to terms with her loss, I wrote a letter to them and thanked them for the 10 years we stayed with them, but I also said, it all went too fast.
After 9 months I still think about her leaving this world.
ROO was cremated and she is with us. It's very comforting having her around us in a beautiful wooden urne. It helps us, that we had to say GOODBYE not in a way we wished it for her. May you R I P little ROO, we love you so much. ♥️♥️♥️🐈♥️♥️♥️
That moment when Max's owner was cuddling him and he was leaning against her was so tender. You could see the love between them, and his trust in her.
First reply before 155lukes somehow
I believe he was thanking her, saying he loves her too and goodbye 😭
I feel like that was his way of saying goodbye and telling her that he will be ok and that he loves her
I agree. It was so sweet. It’s really heartbreaking when we have to make the decision for our pets but it’s even more heartbreaking seeing them suffering
I can relate so much to that case, in November my dog of 13 years started to get really sick and swollen, his back half of his body got so swollen he couldn’t sleep or move too well, it seemed like his body was just shutting down and he was also having seizures, we took him to the vet and the unfortunate thing about it is due to COVID we couldn’t be there with him.
i damn near cried when the owner tried to bargain for a couple more months with max
Yes indeed. I've had to take pets on that final trip to the vet, and it's heartbreaking every time. It really is the final act of love we can do for our pets when they're suffering, but in the moment it feels like the most horrible betrayal.
Thank you for helping the older dog cross over rainbow bridge. I have lost most of my senior fur baby. It is not easy to loose a loved one. Thank you again for helping.
@@mychatpalace o
I lost my maybe 20 year old Golden retriever mix with Labrador i think it's been so long. But we had to put him down for bad hips problem when I was little. I miss him still I'm now almost 19 he was my guardian
i've had to put down multiple animals too. it never gets any easier
Letting go of any animal, it never gets any easier. Reading "Thank you for helping the older dog cross over the rainbow bridge." i broke into tears ❤
One of the most difficult decisions to make. But you made the right one. RIP Max
He was a VERY good boy. 😥
It is definitely the toughest decision for any pet owner to make. My dog had to get put down nearly 3 years ago. He was in pain and suffering. As much as it’s really hard and heartbreaking to let them go it’s even more heartbreaking to see them go through the pain and suffering
It so hard saying goodbye to ur best friend! 😓
@@AmiDonnelly I'm sorry for your loss. ❤️
@@jewels964 thank you. Yeah it was really hard. Even now I still miss him so much (I’m not as upset now but whenever a special event like birthdays or Christmas come round it still tears me up inside😢). But seeing him go through the pain and suffering was even harder
when I heard "i might have to put him to sleep" i lost it cause my uncle's dog had to suffer much more than she deserved... We couldn't cause she was already basically gone but that was 5 years ago and I'm still upset about her... I know you can't hear me or read this but Patches, I hope you're doing better than you were, I love you girl.
Sorry to hear that ( °. _ °)
I hope she is doing better aswell.
So sorry for your loss.
You are the sweetest person I’ve ever met ❤️ Patches, I will pray for you xx ❤️
it's Sans if its any comfort I believe God takes them home with him and he does not let them suffer anymore
Rest in peace little max :( I am sorry for the lost, a few years ago I had to put my cat to sleep at the age of 10, she had feline cancer stage 4 and we didn't know about it until one day the vet gave us the decision to put her to sleep.
She’s in a better place now
Awww. I also lost my 14yo dog to cancer last summer. It was extremely aggressive and grew so incredibly large in just a couple of months. really terrible disease.
I had a very similar thing happen, 10 year old cat with metastatic lymphoma. We found out very suddenly one day when he deteriorated. It's the hardest when it happens without warning, my condolences
My family had to put my German shepherd down in May…. He had a messed up ankle and shoulder all his life but he hurt his shoulder and was in pain he lived to 10 decent for a German shepherd… miss you Gormley
No Max, once the owner said he was so beautiful, I instantly started crying 😭💔
Sometimes, as hard as it is, the most loving and kindest thing we can do for the fur babies we love us to let them go... it isn’t right for them to suffer because we will miss them...
Yup. It's selfish to prolong their suffering just to delay our own sadness.

Something that is very important is that we have to have a vet that we can trust. I had a beautiful Golden Retriever named Ginger. And she had congenital heart disease as well as hip dysplasia and she was blind as well. She had lost her sight while she was still very active so she adjusted well and I felt her quality of life it was still good. When I mentioned my concern about her pain he said that it was minimal and wasn't causing her too much discomfort
@@dixierae3442 should they have ANY pain? A vet once told me, “a week too early is better than a day too late”. We (inc me) are all inclined to hear what we want to hear, when it’s the last words from the vet.
When is the right time to let them go? No one knows for definite. I only know I don’t want to be in pain and not be able to get my meds when I need them, not just when it’s tim to have them. Pets are totally reliant on us for their care.
@@gwyna3432 Am I ever glad you responded. I'm not sure what happened but I never completed my comment. The whole story was that the vet had told me to allow her to die naturally. I agree with you 100% that an animal should feel no pain. I trusted this vet that he would not allow Ginger to go through any discomfort. The reality was dying from the heart disease that she had was extremely painful and when the end came the pain came immediately and the poor angel was fighting for air. I was not able to get ahold of a vet and ginger had to suffer in agony through the entire night. Finally in the morning I was able to find it that that would come to the house thank God but I will never forgive myself for trusting someone else in what should have been my decision and I now believe it is much better 2 say goodbye to our beloved pets a little bit early then to wait too long. If we are honest with ourselves we know when it's time for them to go. The fact that I even questioned the doctor was a sign that it was time. I was just too selfish to make the decision on my own.
@@dixierae3442 I feel very sorry for you - obviously owners should be a part of the decision, but vets should realise that most owners need help to decide when the time is right. Prolonging the life of animal (dare I say, for profit?) should never happen. Vets need to be strong, and if necessary, stand up against the owners and tell them their pet is going to suffer. It’s not what most owners want.
My dog "Snow" was a mix of German Shepard and Golden Retriever, she just happened to be all white.. She was a big girl in her prime, and - oh so beautiful.. She took an aspirin each day on the advice of the Veterinarian, so she walked around great, but she loved to sleep upstairs with my daughter, so for a few years we carried her up to bed, and carried her down the stairs in the morning.. She was getting so old.. A friend told me I was being selfish keeping her alive, so I took her in to see her Dr., and he said "Oh my yes, she's very old! Is she dying? We all are from the day we're born. When she's "ready" she will let you know, and you're not being selfish, she's loved, cared for, not in pain"... She lasted almost another year, and she did let us know, she could not wee one day, she tried and tried, we knew her kidney's had just failed. She was 19 years old!! We took her in, and it hurt her to be lifted onto the table for the Dr., she lay down on the floor, and I laid down with her, he gave her a huge shot of valium, she went to sleep, then he came in and gave her whatever they use to put them to sleep... Oh the tears, our blessed girl was gone, but I look back now, and she literally was there for my daughter - all her life. The dog LOVED to pull the stroller on nightly walks, I kept a hand on the handle of course, but Snow pulled the stroller as though it were "her baby" inside.. She never once snapped at anyone, she played so much with my daughter, I would put the garden hose on the slipper slide in the back yard, with the little "baby swimmin pool" in the back yard, my daughter would climb up and slide down, with the hose - her own water slide!! Snow would climb the ladder and she'd take her turn at the slide too!! Can I be sad she is gone? No, she is deeply missed, but how many people are blessed with a rescue dog (she'd been terribly abused when we got her, you could see her finally relax when she realized we would NEVER EVER hit her, or swat her, we LOVED her!! I cannot be sad, we had 19 years, with a wonderful dog, what a huge gift to our lives she was...
She must have been such a wonderful dog
One of my dogs almost lived to 21!!!
I read the long LONG LONG!!!! Text
19 is pretty old for a big dog
Rest In Peace snow
i was so touched by the bond that happened between the mum horse who lost her foal and little Brûlée - the woman who Brûlée’s carer finally broke down. i felt the the same way. watching that little foal stick to his new mum was incredible. mums are so important. my son is thirty y.o. and still makes me smile inside when i see him. :) 🐎🐶🌷
Yes! I was amazed there weren’t more comments about that small miracle. Foals simply die without a horse mother, unlike some other stock that do ok on bottles. So it was a huge relief and incredibly heart warming to see the two accept one another. 💝
Putting your beloved pet to sleep is one of the hardest decisions a person will ever have to make in their life. But it can be the most selfless when your pet is suffering so severely and there is no cure.
This happened to me we noticed our second dog behaviour was weird she was walking very slowly tail droopy down head was hung down she hardly ate or drank rushed her to the vet.... found out that she had a tumor in her head which ruptured... she was a kind and timid dog and i wouldnt have guessed/known that a tumour was inside her brain there was nothing we could do... the vet said the only thing we can do is put her to sleep shes in pain.. theres no chance of saving her they ran tests and everything i was legit so devastated by the news i couldnt go to the vet clinics cos if i had gone i didnt want to be crying infront of people or having a mental break down inside the clinic with other people seeing me come out with only her collar in my hands I was 15 at the time i told the vet and i had the phone on speaker so everyone could hear and i didnt want our last memory to be us going there and seeing her suffering in pain on a table the last memory i had of her was patting her head whilst she wasnt well honestly even typing this up brings tears thinking about this even though she died in 2010 it still hurts me that i could have done better for her made her rest easier..
when skittles put his paw on his owners it was like he was trying to say "ill be okay🥺"
Ela Uzel Max is the one they put to sleep I thought skittles was the foal but then I am so upset by this my mind is gone
@@aprilgosa5779 The foal is named Brulee...Like..The dessert; creme brulee
Knowing that your baby didn’t have any time left is heartbreaking
Brulee is such a gorgeous foal !!
It's hard to say goodbye to pets. They're family
I clicked on this bc of the title and was somehow surprised when I was crying in the middle of the airport. Right now I have a lab who is 16 going on 17 and I am watching his body fail him :( he’s gone deaf and is going blind. He stopped eating for a few days but is back to normal now. I know he doesn’t have long left and it breaks my heart. He’s been with me since I was in 1st grade and I’m a senior in college now ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😭😭😭 I hope when it’s his time he lets me know
You grew up with you dog, that's hard cause you have such a loving history during childhood till now. Just remember that YOU were the loving, nurturing, gentle, and kind soul he loved/needed and you did a great job making his life special. You did your job well.
I still fial to understand how if we can see euthanasia of animals as humane, how people who are suffering can't make that decision for themselves. Poor max
I agree to a point, except the owner in the case only euthanized her dog after a vet she trusted encouraged her to do so. Sometimes a person is suffering because of depression or just doesn't want to go through necessary treatment. It's sad that in the U.S. many times someone just doesn't have enough money for good health care. However, if a group of doctors agree that there's no hope, a person should be able to choose if he/she wants to die with dignity without a lot of suffering.
So sad of the mother horse passing after giving birth!
Kate's story was heartbreaking. It's no different than losing an elderly parent as far as I'm concerned. My dogs are my family and I've had to make that difficult decision to let them go and it's devastating.
Let me guess; it's beautiful but it's so sad?
2 years aggo i had to say bye to my yorkshire 5 year old dog! He went to the afterlife because he was demolished by a bigger dog. So sorry little friend.😭😥😢
I feel sorry for you 🥺
i felt that , my ferret was mauled by my neighbours jack russels last week
Ahhh so sad, dear one. I'm terribly sorry for your loss. So unnecessary!
This was def one of the more emotional episodes to date.
Things happen ❤️. It was the right thing to do for Maxi. Rest in peace Maxi. We are all thinking of you x ❤️ stay safe
Dr Kate's story was just heartbreaking. Skittles was an emotional story as well with a happy ending. The foal I was worried about but over joyed with the successful unity and bond that this little one has with an amazing mare. Now to toss my teary tissues away.
Skittles’ story gives me so much hope. It’s not often that big dogs pull through so well. I’m a vet tech and I LOVE large dogs, so it breaks my heart when they don’t live long or their size becomes their downfall. Good job, Skittles!
ok skittles the big black dog survived Max is a little white dog that went to heaven I cannot imagine going to the vet with my sweet boy and not coming home with him
Can we just stop for a second and admiare the beautiful intro! Love the song!
You make my world a better place I can't depend on you iiiiiiiii I can't depend on you

@@QueenJenniferTheGreat definatley not! It's a happy song and uplifting i have been listening to it for years ! 🥰🐕🐶🦘
@@joannemurdock7899 hi
Max is ok now. All dogs go to heaven.
The hardest part about love, is knowing when to let go.
Losing a pet is never easy, it's definitely a hole you feel even after you get a new furry friend.
You can see that even though she had no other option, that this was a decision that Kate didn't want to have to make. My heart goes out to the veterinarians who must, at times, euthanize patients they have gotten very attached to.
My sister's horse died in the night from colic just a couple months ago. It's devastating.
Yeas it is. My old Thoroughbred was put down because of impaction colic. He was 34 years old. I owned him for 33 of those years. He died in 2007, and I still miss him. (Jan Griffiths).
that baby horse is beautiful
So sad for Max and yet he had a good life and was loved deeply! I’ve lost severe pets in my lifetime and it never gets any easier, I just always try to make sure the treatment I’m seeking for my pet is really for them and not me.💔
My mom had to put their dog to sleep in July. It was hard on all of us. She was my little buddy too. Even today, my mom still has the "what ifs." She thinks if she had just waited another few days she would have gotten better. She had a brain tumor and was to the point of not eating. She was already underweight because we had such a hard time getting her to eat before she stopped. The vet said she had no muscle mass left. It is a very difficult decision to have to make. I hope my dog's body makes that decision for me when that time comes.
Is this episode designed to make people cry? Because it’s working 😭
What a beautiful doggy. Rest In Peace 😭❤️
I love Dr Kate. You can feel the connection she has with the patient and their family. It's so heartwarming! Absolutely wonderful!
Rest In Peace Maxi 😭😔
Almost didn’t click, I knew what that decision was. Had to do the same a few years ago and my daughter in law had to do the same a year ago in February. I had my beloved Maine Coone die in my arms. Love, love all animals. They are our four legged babies.
me and my brother had to make this decision without our mother because she wasn't around when our jack russell dog was suffering he was 15 years old and what was so sad for me i was carrying him to the vet via taxi loved that dog so much it is truely heart breaking
When you love an animal companion, it's so hard to see what others see when your friend is in their final days. We desperately want to believe we'll have more time. Max broke my heart, and probably thousands of others' hearts, because we've all walked in Lana's shoes and remember so clearly how very much it hurts to say good-bye. 💔
Brule'' has a "strong will to live" and "she" has a STRONG mothering instinct.
If my I was to put my pets to sleep, I’d do all his/her favorite things and give him/her all there favorite foods. I have 5 pets btw 1 boy dog 3 girl dogs and a turtle that we don’t know the gender.
I love that idea same🥰
Bless you shy guy and piggy yay 🥰🥰
We did this with my Belgian shepherd, she developed a tumour on her spine at 4yo. She walked into the specialists office, we got the verdict and walked her out, she collapsed in the car park and her legs never worked again. I kept her alive for 1 more day, she got carried to the park, ate steaks and bones all day then went to the vets for that final time 😭 Her ashes are still on my shelf after 15 years
So wonderful that Skittles recovered! Really sweet owner and therapist, Dr. and Lisa did an amazing job for him!
My heart breaks for Dr Kate having to give the bad news my old boy Tyson was 17 years and it broke our hearts years later Tasha was 18 years old a similar case as Max both my fur babies were helped to pass away ....💜 🐕🐕💜 I lost my old Girl Jess the Cat by a hit and run Car just before Christmas I still miss her yelling at Me and picking on my three monsterdoglettes 💜🐈💜
I know this is different but my koi he was 23 passed due to swim bladder I miss him so much.....every time I walked up to the pond he started to get ready to eat I miss him to this day
Make sure you keep your next cat indoors only..
@@kacper6116 Aww. A lot of people think fish are more like decoration objects, but they are companions and friends just like dogs and cats too.
Dr Chris is so talented to see the task through-. No matter how hard. His mind just says, “We can do it.” He’s the total package.
I’m bawling for Max and his owner I know just how hard it is to say goodbye and when you have had animal for that long it makes life very difficult when they go! I’m glad his owner and Dr Kate choose to take his suffering away! RIP Max
This episode was very emotional 😢 with the highs and lows. It shows just how precious 😍 life and good health is. R.I.P MAX AND MY MOJO. 💞🙏🌞🔆🌺🌼
Today on bondi vet let's make as many people cry over a dog they never met 😭 rest in peace max 😔❤
Always need lots of tissue with this show. Maxi is free from suffering over the Rainbow Bridge. Baby horse with new Mom and Skittles is brilliant!! Thank you for the best stories about our beloved pets!
This is a very devastating choice to have to make, I know I had to make that horrible decision. I'm so sorry for you and your little guy 😢. He will be waiting for you at the entrance of the Rainbow Bridge 🌈🌈🌈 until then he will always remain with you in your 💗
My love goes to the owner I am so sorry!
i really hope lana is doing well and healing this heartbreak )-: even i had tears in my eyes watching this episode so i cant even imagine how she feels after 17 years with max
I do too. I'm sure she was gutted. I was also shocked by how quickly he deteriorated in a few hours. Max was just ready to go
Absolutely love this show but this one was the most heartbreaking!! Omg bawling my eyes out!! These poor owners, pets and the vets who treat them 🥺😭
i couldnt help but start crying when poor max gave those struggling coughs. My baby of 15 years started doing that last year and we had to let her go last august. losing her was the absolute worst thing to come out of last year
Rest in Peace Max. One of the most difficult decisions any owner has to make. I know I have had to do it twice :(
To max: "the one thing I could not protect you from was...time"
"A couple more months" LADY!!!! WHY U MAKING ME CRY LIKE THIS
I too had to make a VERY tough decision with my 17 year old dog. 😭
We had to put our old dog down earlier in March. He was 14 years old, and suddenly his back leg wasn’t working. It all happened so fast. I don’t think I’ve cried that much in a long time. My mom stayed with him, I couldn’t bear for my last memories of him to be like that... so I said my goodbye and walked out. Practically sobbing. My mom told me he looked so peaceful, he might as well had been sleeping...
We’ve gotten over crying, but the sadness is still there on occasion. We miss him dearly. RIP Target. You lived a long happy life, and you had a giant personality.
im soo sorry. It is tough, just know u now have an angel up there, looking down! Fur angel :)
Oh...I don't know what to say except rest in peace little buddy Max. It mustn't be easy for vets to assist animals cross the rainbow bridge, but they are doing the absolute best thing for an animal that is so sick. :'(
R. I. P Maxi ❤️ i was like what a heck when the owner said couple of months. I feel sad but it's such a relief to put down a sick animal. I had to put down a old rabbit 5 march and it was such a relief to not have to see him everyday in pain, the painkillers wasn't enough for him. It sound's horrible that i wasn't crying afterwards and not that sad i only started to tear up if someone talked about him. He was a big part of my life. But i had easier when i 2 days before did make the choice so i cried the day before❤️. I could make his last they as good as possible.
sofia wistbacka she was grieving we have no right to judge her
omg i am crying watching this Max story.
so sad moment and Dr Kate knows how hard it is to say goodbye to a family member.
What a ride of emotions. So sad for Max and his owner, rest now sweet Prince. Love is unconditional, and it's not just about blood. Two heartbreaks made whole is an amazing story. All the vets are amazing, and their efforts for their patients is amazing. Well done Bondi Vet I love all your stories keep them coming. You make me sad, happy, anxious, and amazed.
Dr. Andrew is such a sweet soul! I love the way he just smiles at skittles! That alone, can be a positive effect for Skittles. Animals know if a person likes them and wants to help them! I'm not a big fan of Dr. Lisa's but she does do good work too.
Ahhh man this episode hit me hard. I just had to have my 14-year-old cat, Esche, put to sleep after having her since she was a kitten. She was so old, her legs weren't working well anymore, she was sick, and anemic, and stopped eating. The rest of the cats at our rescue miss her as much as I do but I cry every day...
And Skittles kind of reminds me of me, I have a spine injury in my neck and a shoulder injury. Alas, mine will never get treated except for pain meds so it will be damaged for the rest of my life.
So sorry about your cat🐈🥰🥰🦘
Dr Chris is the best. I dont think there would be another job in the world that he could possibly be any better at. He is always sticking his neck out in any way possible to help treat and diagnose from a piggy missing 3 hoofs to birds with extra super long beaks to orphaned roo's that wouldnt of been able to ever hop again due to a fracture in the back of its foot. Is so evident that he cares and comes up with his own contraptions to help the piggy walk again! Just one of many great little gadgets that he comes up with and the more you watch these shows the more you realize that to do this job you have to be able to think around the corner as there's not always a cure for whats wrong and thats when a vet who will think even further can often make the difference for the animals and those who love them!!
Thank You Dr Chris ❤
I wish they would include how much the treatment for the animals cost. Maybe some people would think a little bit more before buying a kitten or puppy.
Or a bird! Veterinary care for birds is very expensive because it is highly specialized (birds are not mammals) and they are such small animals that the tests and surgical instruments have to be very sensitive.
I have an almost 19 year old kitty. I dread the day his time comes. 💔
At 25.25 I love what Dr.Chris says about animals 🥰🐎🐴🐈🐕🐩🐕🦺🦁🦌🐘🐘🦒🐄🐃🐎🐴🐕🐶🦧🐨🦘🦔🐪🐘
Tough decisions suck. Luckily, i havent had to make one yet.
I am glad that max isn't suffering anymore I don't know how many more years months weeks or days my pug will be alive for . but after that happens I don't know if I should own another dog .
I feel sorry for Dr. Kate and Max and Max's mom. I had to put 2 of my babies to sleep and it is so hard.

RIP Max My love goes out to the owner
I can understand Lana wanting Max to keep going, but in this case, it was Not in Max's best interest and he was dying. I had 17 & 21 year old Toy Fox Terriers who actually did really well, until they didn't, and they showed me when it was time to end their suffering. WE are their guardians and knowing when it's time for them to pass away is one of our duties. Hard though. The Vet's suffer a lot of depression & continual sadness from dealing with this type of outcome and I am sorry it's so hard for them, too. Thanks Dr. Kate, you helped Max and eased the idea of his demise with his human.
I was in tears watching the mare and foal.
sad first story of Max (RIP) But the second story - soooo AMAZING!!
Great job to everyone involved with pairing the Mum & foal that were recently orphaned & obviously both in mourning. Horses are extremely smart & very aware & alert of their surroundings, it was very sad to see Brulee orphaned & soo sad at such a tender age. But, I am over the moon that they found a surrogate Mum and that they both opened up to each other soo quickly, great job to Dr. Chris. Hearing that suckle, I felt it, just as the owner did when she snuck off for a cry. :)
I'm very glad they showed us the update, I was sooo happy tears of joy! I love horses. I grew up riding and taking care of a few, my Uncle ran a stable. I've had a few very special horses in my lifetime, I'm extremely lucky to have had their special friendship & love - they are really truly amazing animals.
This is why i hate but love having pets at the same time. The love you have for them and they for you is amazing but when they pass away the heartache it brings.
I know how hard it is to put your furbaby down. Last may I had to put my 17 year old cat down it wasn't easy 😭😭😭
its a hard thing when owners cant let go.. when they are putting their feelings infront of what is best for their pet.. Its never ever easy, but gosh I would have loved if someone had told the owner LONG before, enough is enough. poor Max :(
jydeinden you started that comment like you cared then you basically laid into the owner she had probably no idea before Kate told her that Max was suffering her asking for a few months is her grief talking its not because she does not care I have been there I had an 11 year old that was sick much of her life she died in 2006 so please keep your fake compassion we do the best we can this dog was 17 God calls them when he calls them and if that was the age he called Max thats not her fault and its not anyone's right to tell her when enough is enough she did not do anything wrong Kate was kind and caring you were mean and accusatory when you do not know her story she was not putting her feelings infront of her baby and his feelings this is not about what you would love to have been done
@@aprilgosa5779 nah there was nothing wrong with the comment and if you defend this behaviour saying "God will call them" and let them suffer due to your own inability to part with your animal, then you're the problem and it's SICK
@@aprilgosa5779 I would never ever led a animal suffer... NEVER.. And I dont care how much time it could give me with the animal.. If you cant take the right decission "just" because its hard, then you shouldnt have any animal!..
You cant say that you love your animal, if you can look at EVERY fucking day, and know that its in pain. That is NOT love, that is cruelty and should be punished.
And I dont care if any one doesnt like my comment, just because its true.
And YES I have been to the doctor and getten a animal put down, and I would do it anytime again, if I know that the animal was in pain.
@@kweeniepiez I can only agreee 1000000 % .. It makes me SICK that ANY person no matter what they believe in, would make a animal suffer just because they cant or doesnt want to do what is right..
That really should give a jailtime in my opnion..
@@aprilgosa5779 I agree. It kinda did sound like she/he was blaming the owner. It wasn't the owners fault at all. She obviously didn't realize how bad it does. No owner realizes how bad it is in the moment. Not to mention, some of us don't have the money to get them cared for right when the symptoms start. My Nana has to wait for her stimulus so she can get her dog seen cuz he's having issues with his back leg and he's old.
Amazing and loving vets how they treat the pets as the owners children. They are family.
Max was given the greatest gift of all: ... LOVE! AND A LIFETIME OF HAPPINESS! WHAT A WONDERFUL MOM! HARD DECISION TO LET YOUR SON GO, BUT LITTLE MAX IS BETTER OFF AND YOU GAVE HIM A HE BEST LIFE HE WOULD HAVE EVER HAD!
God Bless Skittles' owners. Very special people 💕
I don't like how Kate and the title say she can't help. No one could help what was happening.
The way max passed was the same way my dog died she lost wait she had heart failure she was 16 years old and it was at level 6 the highest it can go I miss you so much Dyxie sissy loves loves you

I really appreciate how this show will give a moment of silence
We have a 14 year old Lab cross....Max's story really got to me because I know we don't have much time left with our old girl....
She could surprise you and live till she's 20 or more. Make sure she goes to the vet at least once a year for a checkup and blood work. (Jan Griffiths).
@@douglasgriffiths3534, believe me, we are keeping a close eye on her but she had a lot of issues lately with a vascular issue with her left hind leg and seizure or stroke...the vet was not sure. Plus, she only has one eye because she developed glaucoma in the eye and she has a cataract forming in the other eye.
Don't worry he will get better soon 😊😊
I watch this so much my boyfriend from the other room screams the theme song and sings it so dramatically from the other room 😂 im talking power ballad “you make my world a better place!”
8:54 why can we do this for our pets, but not for us or those who are suffering.
@beverlycrusher - We can, at least in my country. In Canada assisted death is legal now for people and people are doing it. I know of at least 2 people who have opted for it to end their own suffering.
aww poor max i feel so sorry for the owner i lost my dog last year :( breaks my heart because my dog had to be put to sleep :'(
I cannot see too well, with tears running down my face over Maxie, So sad. Rest in peace, little Maxie. I am so sorry.
Awww all animal lovers dread this when they get up in age, but sadly theres no magic wand. My heart breaks for the lady and her fur baby but I'm glad she made the right decision as it's not about us it's about not allowing the dog to suffer. He crossed the rainbow bridge and is now a happy, healthy, full of beans doggie again, and in a much better place, God bless you little one 💜🐾🐾🐾🐾🐕
I'm so sorry for Max. But the best thing was done so he wouldn't suffer any more. He's in doggie heaven. Rest in peace sweet Max
At 24.14 melts my heart seeing the love and togetherness and connection of the female horse and the baby foal, standing, eating and running together HORSE'S ARE TRULY MAGNIFICENT !
Yes, absolutely beautiful! 💕
@@howardtheduck7668 Thank u Howard the duck, u of all people can r relate to animals and how unique, special and underestimated they can b at times!
Horses. You don't need an unnecessary possessive unless you are talking about the following: Horse's foal, Horse's mane. Basically anything that BELONGS to something is a possessive. The way you phrased 'Horse's are truly magnificent' is INCORRECT. I hate incorrect possessives...grammar is NOT hard...
@@joannemurdock7899 Your response should read: Thank you, Howard The Duck. You of all people can relate to animals and how unique, special and underestimated then can be at times. Again.... GRAMMAR IS NOT HARD!!! Spelling isn't either.... If you are still in school, PAY ATTENTION IN ENGLISH CLASSES!!! If not, find your English teacher and APOLOGIZE for failing them... my former English teacher hates people like you.
As much as it’s heartbreaking to have to put a pet to sleep it’s more heartbreaking to see them suffering. I was really upset when I had to put my dog Toffee to sleep but on that night we had to rush him in I knew he wasn’t going to get better and spending those sleepless nights comforting him when he was in pain was really heartbreaking. And he stopped eating 2 weeks before we made the decision and all he could do was eat and drink through a syringe and sleep. My mum didn’t want to put him down but I told her that we’ve done everything we could for him and his eyes gave us the look of I’ve had enough and want this pain to stop etc.
I feel sorry for this dog and his
Owner I am sorry that
This dog is so sick
