[QUOTE="CarlZog, post: 1594030, member: 11716"] Getting somebody else to shoulder some of the burden would seem critical to me. Though the new guy might not be your best choice (if you have a choice). Last year, our cat got cancer and eventually died. We did everything we could to give him a chance, which meant lots of visits to a specialist/emergency hospital -- Ocean State Vet. We saw a lots of people going through this, and I don't know how the techs do it. They treated every one as if it were their own, and I don't know how you or they maintain that calm, caring demeanor on a regular basis. On our lighter visits, my girlfriend joked about getting a job as a receptionist/tech to play with animals all day, but I'd remind her of that part of the job and she'd be done with the idea. A new tech, even with the best intentions, might get overwhelmed. I hope it works out. zog [/QUOTE]
