How Do You Deal with Pet Illness?

 

A lot of owners treat their pets as part of the family. That is why it is heartbreaking to know that your pet is sick. How do you cope with it?

 

1. Bring your pet to the vet. You will immediately know that your pet is sick if it no longer has any appetite, sleeps for most of the time, is lethargic, or seems to never settle in place. The pet may also be very noisy than usual. Normally you will observe your pet for a couple of days, and when the symptoms worsen, you have to bring the pet to the vet.

 

2. Know the reason for the illness. Somehow having an idea of what causes your pet to act that way makes you feel relaxed and calm. The vets are the best persons to provide you with the information you need. You can then supplement that with your own research.

 

3. Separate the pet from the rest of the family. You can still take care of your pet—in fact, it would need a lot of it—but it is a good idea to separate it from the others, especially from the kids. The illness may be caused by a virus or bacterium, which can be contagious. Moreover, just like humans, your pet requires a lot of rest. It should not be disturbed or played with unless it has fully recovered.

 

4. Determine the prognosis. Many owners do not like to ask about the prognosis of their pet's illness. They're afraid that the vet may tell them that the case is serious and the pet may die. However, you will never be able to help your pet properly if you don't get the entire picture. From the prognosis, you can ask the vet if there's something that could be done to speed up the treatments and make them more effective. You can also use the information when you're doing the research.

 

5. Prepare for the worst. Whether you would like to admit it or not, pets, like humans, will die. There are many pets that get sick and never recover. That's something you have to prepare yourself for. Losing a pet can be very painful, and as early as possible you should learn for ways on how to manage the pain more efficiently.

 

If you want more strength to deal with the possibility of a loss, you can make use of subliminal messages. Also referred to as affirmations these have the ability to tweak the way your mind thinks. Instead of telling yourself that you cannot cope if you lose your pet, the subliminal message may tell you, "I am grateful for the time you spent with me" or "I'll do everything I can to show my pet I love him or her."

 

6. Involve the rest of the family. Surely it's not only you who feels bad about the pet's illness or scared about the potential outcome. Your children and the rest of the family will feel the same way you do.
