Do you guys find yourselves having ethical dilemmas with owners wanting to do absolutely everything to prolong their geriatric/close to death pets’ lives? I know that many vets experience the opposite, where people can’t or don’t want to pay for treatment, but wondered if you face situations like nurses do where the kindest thing to do is let Fluffy go?

How does cannabis affect plaque formation in arteries? Is there a difference between the effects of inhaled cannabis vs edibles?
