In the follow-up session to Building Bridges – Veterinary Programs Focused on Community Care, we’ll tackle the tough topic of avoiding the “pass the buck” mindset when it comes to animals with poor adoption prospects or complex medical needs. Often, these situations arise when veterinarians feel conflicted about making euthanasia decisions or addressing cases where a client may be unable to manage an animal’s care, including both medical and behavioral conditions.
This seminar will provide guidance on: ✔ Assessing Animal Welfare – Balancing quality of life with the reality of long-term outcomes ✔ Ethical Decision-Making – Navigating difficult conversations with compassion and clarity ✔ Collaborating with Shelters – Understanding the impact of transferring responsibility and how to avoid it becoming a default
By fostering a mindset of shared responsibility, veterinary professionals can make more informed, empathetic decisions that prioritize the welfare of animals and the realities of shelter capacities. Join us for this thought-provoking discussion to build confidence in handling these challenging scenarios.
