Sent a thank-you card to a vet after you've lost the battle and had to have your baby helped over the bridge? It's something I've started when there's a case where a wee has fought a long and hard battle. I've found that the vets (if they're any good) get almost as involved as you do, and I can tell you from spending lots of days in the clinic/shelter, that having to help a ferret over the bridge puts a damper on the vets day as well. It's a thoughtful gesture that acknowledges the vet's involvement and tends to touch them deeply. [Posted in FML 6440]
