In this episode of Rescue Vet, Dr Scott Miller meets up with friend Chris Lewis, an ex-paratrooper who walked the entire British coastline, a total of 19,000 miles, over 6 years, meeting his rescue dog and soulmate Jet along the way. After battling his mental health and PTSD, Chris’ dog saved his life. Sadly Jet's health has been declining rapidly over the last year, and Chris has made the most heartbreaking but brave decision, that it is Jet's time. Chris has asked Scott to help him say goodbye.
Chris & Jet were raising money on their walk for SSAFA, which provides support to the Armed Forces community - if you would like, you can support their cause by donating on their fundraising page: www.justgiving.com/fundraisin...

I think the hardest part about having a dog (pet in general) is making the decision to break our own hearts by doing what is best for them- but that pain and heartbreak is the price we pay in return for the unconditional love and support they give us. My heart and empathy are with Chris and his family. Rest well sweet baby girl - run free and leave the pain behind knowing you were so very loved.

@automechs360 Ай бұрын

Honestly I agree with you but understand that if it is a parent or a child it is so much harder to make that decision. I have had to make the decision for my mother last year to let no further medical intervention on my mom's behalf except to make her comfortable. She passed peacefully the day before Christmas Eve but it was incredibly hard to make that decision. It wasn't like I outright went to kill her. I said keep her comfortable, keep her from suffering as much as possible. The only issue I have with the idea of dying with dignity is that it is only a step or two away from the dystopian society from The Giver. I don't think it is right to give someone else the ability to "help" someone like that and hear them say they "enjoy" the job. It takes a true psychopath to enjoy a job like that. Watching someone die should NEVER be a good thing, knowing you are giving them a medication that will stop their heart or stop their breathing should never be a job they enjoy. Dr Scott has outright said that this part of his job is one no Vet enjoys but understands the necessity of doing it for the animal's benefit. But human beings aren't animals and as much as we like our animals they are not part of our families and you can grieve an animals passing without acting like it was a human baby. I have lost a baby, 32 weeks pregnant but still a baby, and I have lost pets before. They aren't the same, I cried over my pets for a day or two but I sobbed for 2 months at just the thought of my son and actually got quite severally depressed after the loss. Sorry but I can say the dying with dignity that places like Norway are dancing a very fine line that we executed Nazis for after the end of WW2, it is a truly dangerous line. The same line allowed that nurse a while back kill babies who were simply ill.

I lost my 19 year old cat last week. One minute he was sitting on my son's lap purring, jumped down and keeled over. He had a massive stroke. He was PTS by our kind vet. Although he was aware of us, his motor function was completely gone. We stayed with him as he crossed to Rainbow Bridge, telling him how much we loved him and thanking him for 19 wonderful years. We lost his brother Harley last October. He hadn't been well earlier that year but was successfully treated. He had his dinner, curled up, went to sleep and never woke up. They were half-Bengals. Now together again and reunited with their lifelong friend, Chico who passed away just shy of his 22nd birthday. Benji was a talkative cat (as was his brother). We haven't got used to not hearing his cat-chat yet. We got his ashes home yesterday so he's back home where he belongs, with us.

@Pythonaria Ай бұрын

@@carolcox302 We still have 8 cats, all rescues. The two half-Bengals were the only cats who were not rescues. They were given to me by a work colleague. The story behind them is quite amusing. My work colleague's wife bred Bengals. That year we had a hot summer. At about 2am my colleague and his wife were awoken by a lot of howling and banging around. Thinking they were being burgled, Alan crept downstairs to find the local Tom having his wicked way with their Bengal queen. Alan had left a small window open and the local Tom saw his chance and took it. Non-pedigree kittens were the result so they chose people they knew loved cats and would look after them. Our oldest cat lived to 23. She was also a rescue. I was asked to foster her for one night only. We had her for 15 years. She was 8 years old when we got her. Our cats ages range from 12 years old to 4 years old.

I know what has to be done but I have not been able to do the last step. Seeing this video made me realize that I have to as I am not being fair to her. She is deaf, losing her sight, can not control her bladder and her legs give out so we can no longer go for walks. I understand what Chris Lewis was feeling.

My sincere compassion to you. I was in the same case with three of my cats in the Spring of 2022 after doing everything we can in terms of vets and medication, it was a true ordeal, we thought we could overcome the fate but there was no medical option available unfortunately. In my country the veterinary medecine has a long way to go despite its high cost (😠). And it put an additional unnecessary burden to the ultimate grief.

I couldn't tell him "because our laws say so!" so I just squeezed his hand and wet it with tears. He was right! And, I never let any of our many dogs and cats go without hearing my voice and feeling my touch on them until their hearts stopped beating. I dearly loved every one of them and they are all woven into the tapestry of my life, bringing it meaning and colour beyond description.

😪❤ I think we all know what he's going through. My heart breaks each time I lose a furry loved one too. I couldn't stop crying watching this.

Honestly this absolutely killed me, my beautiful dog is now 13, he absolutely hate vets and is just so petrified of them, I promised him that if there was a problem I would ask the vet to come to us where he was happy and safe, my promise to him would be my love for him because I know when it’s his time which is shortly I would never let him down and he would hear us telling him we loved him and would always love him x

Heartbreaking 💔 but the best course of action for Jet. Thanks for sharing this very tender event with us, Scott…

A little over 8 years ago, I had to make this same journey. I cried for the pain you all are going through. Anyone who has truly loved a pet understands this is a kindness done out of love. I'd had my cat for 18 years. She was there through many ups and downs in my life. I truly believe our non-human friends are angels to lift us up in life. They are also teachers. May you find peace in the good deeds you have done. She knew she was loved...

The hardest part of owning a pet is when we have to make the most difficult decision we will ever have to make for them when their time comes. We take their pain and suffering from them and ours begins. My deepest condolences to the family. Thank you Dr Scott for being there for Jet, Chris, snd his family. 🙏🙏❤

i lost my standard poodle, Margot, when she was boarded while I recovered from orthopedic surgery. I feel your pain and may cry with you. Thank you Scott for being such a compassionate vet.

Having had to make this difficult decision many times over the past 40+ years, it's hard each time. And even though you know you're doing a kindness by ending their suffering, it doesn't help it hurt any less. 💔

This was so beautiful. At the end it’s a privilege to help your baby go with dignity. ❤

thru many years and having multiple dogs never ever gets easy to say goodbye to our beloved friends. ONe never forgets them, but our soul and our heart has a lot of room to help another dog in need of love and care...in return we receive so so much that we won't have a life time to repay them what they do for us.

This broke my heart, the saddest and toughest day, but Jet received the ultimate gift of love and friendship from a selfless and heroic owner. So tough for you all but glad you were there, as a vet and a friend, but also for yourself as you also had a long history with this wonderful dog who had a fantastic life with her family until the end 💓🤗

They are NOT just a dog! They are a very special part of our heart and family who is there for us through thick and thin and whose love never lessons! I went through this with my Baby and when I "lost" him, I was absolutely broken too! My dog was my everything!! May GOD heal you all up. Remember love NEVER dies and your Baby is watching over you from Heaven with that UNCONDITIONAL love and pride that you know he has for you!!
