MORE GOOD DAYS THAN BAD
When bad days outnumber good days, QoL might be too compromised.
When a healthy HAB is no longer possible, carers must be made aware that the end is near.
That decision for euthanasia needs to be made if the pet is suffering pointlessly.
If death comes peacefully and painlessly, that is okay.

p.60
p.61

p.61

TOTAL
A total of 35 points plus represents acceptable QoL to continue Pawspice & EoL care for the patient.
If a low scoring criterion can be improved by 30-50%, the pet’s QoL may improve.
The HHHHHMM QoL Scale helps carers make the difficult decision to give their pet the gift of euthanasia as final act of love to assure a peaceful and painless passing.

Sacrifice or Caring for pets
-Issues with: frustration, attachment, anticipatory grief, guilt, depression, resignation, hope & determination strum upon the fibers of the family.
-If the atmosphere at clinic is rushed, it boils down to a lot of dissatisfaction on both sides of the exam table.
-Carers may feel doctor is insensitive.

Drs. Avoid bad News Talk
- Some serious consequences for patient s.
- “Patients lose good time with their families and for reflection and spend more time in the hospital and intensive care unit.”
- The avoidance of BNT can be neglectful.
- 50% lung cancer pts. in the USA are not offered hospice at 60 days before death.
- Bad news talks are potentially cost effective.

Patient Centered Communication at End Of Life
- Effective communication is key to delivering quality care, avoid errors, save money and achieve better outcomes.
- Patient Centered Communication is effective and avoid the disparities that many veterinary facilities are facing.
- Communicating bad news and supporting your clients during end of life is an essential skill for Pawspice staff.
Clients need and expect us to be proficient in delivering bad information in a clear and compassionate way.
- The art of compassionate communication can be-mystify and de-stress the ‘bad news’ picture.

Decision for palliation
- Medical comfort care (non-curative)
- Pain management
- Infection control
- Nutritional support
- Non-curative surgical procedures
- To make any condition less severe of complementary therapies, etc.
- To Improve Quality of Life!!

Knowing Client Preference
There is growing trend of pet owners who want to keep their terminal pet at home.
They want sophisticated supportive care until their pet pass away at home on their own
Most want to provide their own EoL home care or Pawspice that will end with the final call for euthanasia when QoL declines.

Patient Advocacy
- Patient Advocacy is a concept that most DVM’s think they understand, but probably don’t comprehend the scope.
- In its simplest terms, patient advocacy regards any activity that ultimately benefits a patient.
- It can apply to caregiving for an individual patient, to groups that develop policies and advice that help.
Patients, to government groups that develop legislation to improve systems for patients.
- This type of advocacy requires knowledge of the healthcare system and a medical background.
The veterinary nurse is in a key position to expand this field and its potential influence in VM.

Decision Making Dilemmas
- Do advanced recurrence cancer patients get sent home with no hope and no supportive advice?
- Should one forego further treatment when a remission is unlikely?
- Can we enhance a geriatric patient’s quality of life with aggressive palliative care and mCTx?
- Daily chlorambucil at 2mg/M2 or lomustine at 4mg/M2 well tolerated; + NSAIDs + T-K-‘s; may achieve partial remission or stable disease.

How Far Is Too Far?
- Progressive or Minimalist DVM? PV or MV
- MV’s unwittingly practice their bias
- MV’s may avoid radical procedures
- MV’s look at old age as a barrier
- MV’s are “down to earth” practical
- The MV’s may be surprised when clients seek Dr.Google or second opinions.

p.91
p.92

p.92

What Model Works Best?
- Patriarchal vs. Partnering for Decision making
- Situations of complexity and high client need
- Has the ba for care been raised higher than most DVM’s are prepared or willing or to offer?
- Can we trust pet owners to know what is best for their companion animal?
- Can we depend on the pet owner to make the proper decision for their pet?

p.92
p.93

p.93

Framework for Ethical Decision-Making
- ethics.ubc.ca/upload/FrameworkEthicalDecision
- There is no perfect answer!
- Need: guidance & kindness during DM
- Options for kinder Tx & palliation appreciated.
- For me, it is caring for the HAB
- Each heartstring is plucked out at EoL
- These goals bestow a greater and sublime purpose to the art of veterinary practice.

Decision Making
Decisions are often based upon the patient’s HHHHHMM Quality of Life score.
Euthanasia is elected if QoL score <35 points…..
Or
If QoL is dropping to a low point where life is not worth living.
