🐱 Lost Kitten Found In Bush | FULL EPISODE | S03E07 | Vet On The Hill

[@samtmh7240]

Badger's passing is so sad, but it's good that this type of story is still included in the show. It's hard, but not everyone gets a happy ending, and those stories should be shown and remembered just the same as the others. It's the sad reality of the world that we can't ignore.

Poor Badger….

[@paularichard1204]

I lost a collie-mix to a slow-growing tumor like this. It was inoperable because of the area and the size when found. His heart and lung capacity were affected by it and he would not have survived the surgery. He was a happy boy despite the tumor and we decided to just let it go until his quality of life was too affected. He was over 12-years-old when I finally had to make the decision to put him to sleep.

[@Catlover-jr4mj]

That’s so difficult to do, I know that. My cat had a tumor in his mouth and at same point were he had to much trouble eating and just lying under my bed all day, we decided to go to the animal doctor for the last time with him, that was one of the worst days in my life!

[@vintagebrew1057]

There is a beautiful poem called "The Paw on the Stair". Every owner who has lost a beloved pet can relate to it.

Totally crying over my lunch watching this heartbreaking episode. I could really see Dr. Scott's personal sadness and disappointment; it's clear that he really cares for all his patients and does his very best. At the same time, I do appreciate that this show does not shy away from reality and I appreciate the family for allowing it to be shown.

I wasn't able to feel the way I do now because I had my new 8 week old Lucy. We both learned a lot from each other. She learned a large vocabulary. I was able to make stories about anything else. I also have the same vocabulary with my 2 🐕, one is a fearful boy.

[@lyndahammond8883]

Jennifer B;. Thank you for sharing your insight into vet personnel and their emotions with their patients. It is appreciated to know most genuinely care and that experience does not always numb them to what they do. I've found most vets and staff to remain caring and very effective. Bless them and bless you!.

Over the last 60 years I've had many cats and dogs. Every time I've had to one to sleep has been devastating. It never gets any easier.

[@gabrielleperson4794]

Our sweet miracle cat died in 2020 of cancer. Miracle because at 7 weeks old, fleas were eating her so much that she only had 4% red blood cells. I had many people pray for her and she survived. She was healthy from then on (even had good teeth!) until she was 16 1/2 years old. Vet looked in her mouth and saw what looked like squamous cell carcinoma. Inoperable. That was April. She turned 17 in July and held on until October. She was so special. I loved her dearly.

Dr Scott is such a wonderful person and vet. He definitely took it hard that Badger didn't make it. Me too I'm crying already. With Badger being 12 years old. It was a risk to do the surgery. His heart couldn't withstand the sedation. In older dogs it's hard on them. Their heart isn't strong enough. Poor Badger he could have lived a few more years. If the surgery would have been successful

This Shih Tzu reminds me of my aunt's little pixie! She was the runt of the litter and had this huge head. Crazy bug eyes that went both ways, a small and squished nose that was crooked. She was hand fed and kept in her shirt to keep her alive. She still makes that sound but not as bad. We never wanted to breed her because of her conditions. I love them.

[@patriciagarrett5526]

There's always a risk and a tumor like that is horrible. But he went home to God and he's running free in Heaven. I've been down this road many times. It never gets easier. I have a 15 yr old cat. When he was 3 mos old and up for adoption I was babysitting him...and he's been with me ever since. He was a 3 mo. old stray. My friend had to go out of town on a family emergency and asked me to look after him. He's 15 yrs old now and still with me. He's got kidney disease and he's on k/d for cats with kidney disease. I know his time is short and I cherish every day I still have him. All you can do is love them and cry when they leave.

I'd had my Westie, Mac, since I was 8.5 years old. I'd grown, joined the Forces, then my Daddy had to make that call to me. I'd lost my best friend. So my heart goes out to the children now bereft of their best friend and the parent who had to break the news. Rescue hens are always up to mischief. Our dearest hope is to now be able to turn their home into into a fox/badger proof Fort Knox. A fox did somehow get in and my husband wouldn't let me see the result. Two were alive but so traumatised that we took them to our get who very gently authanaised them. It was heart breaking. Our vet too was visibly upset. So, we know your lovely Ladies will have a wonderful life. Enjoy those golden eggs and of course, all the help you will get gardening!

Cookie reminds me of a white haired cat who we named Sugar.

She slid off the door, all claws extended and screamed! My Mom immediately grabbed Sugar and ran cold water on her paws. Sugar' feet weren't burned, but she never did that again ! My Mom and I were more careful to watch for Sugar and future cats to make sure THAT didn't happen again!
