Never actually posted a full version. The Light Dragon and the Twilight beast are two sides of the same ill fated coin.

In times like this, I feel I must speak up for the left (handers)

Left-handed people make up about 10% of the global population, which is WAY more than redheads or cat people. So why can I almost never play as one?

(I know it’s not a big issue, but I wanted to shoot my shot, so to speak!)

Sometimes, but thankfully only rarely, something catastrophic happens in veterinary medicine and by the time that animal reaches the clinic, it’s already many minutes too late.

This is worse when the catastrophe is unexpected, when the animal is juvenile or when cruelty was deliberate. And sometimes the body is such a mess that CPR or any attempt at heroics is really just… performative.

In times like this, all we can really do is try to manage the people that witnessed it: the owner, their family, the good samaritans who helped them get to the clinic, and the bystanders who happened to be in the waiting room. All of those people need to be managed to some degree after witnessing that degree of trauma.

The pet owner, and possibly the family, need the most time and attention. They may well be in shock, and while you’re trying to tell them what’s happened and get permission to stop CPR, you also need to watch them. Encourage them, gently, to sit down if they need to. Bring them a glass of water if they need to. Nothing wrong with offering a bit of emergency chocolate if they look really shaky or this is going on a long time. Tell them you will clean up their pet and make them look presentable if they want to spend time with them saying goodbye. Encourage them to call family or a friend. Do not let them drive until you are quite sure they are safe to do so.

Then we have the good samaritans, who also witnessed the trauma. Though they’re less emotionally invested they will still be affected. And practically, they may need a lot of help cleaning up their car. (Do not apply heat to blood)

Lastly the bystanders also need to be spoken to, because they’ve also witnessed a terrible trauma, or its aftermath. And you don’t know what previous traumas or baggage they’re carrying with them. At the very least they need a check in, thanked for their patience, and possibly herded to a location that is not covered in blood.

When you can’t do anything for the animal other than clean up the body, there’s still work to do caring for the people surrounding it.
