Well I filled up straight away, the lady accross the way with her small dog looked away, as did the lady next to her with a terrier. None of us could speak or even look at eachother, my dad just sort of sat there in an akward silence. I didnt realise but I was holding Luna's cat carrier really close to me and she had shuffled in the carrier so her head was near me as though she was trying to snuggle into me but her ears where down. I felt like such an idiot for nearly crying and it wasnt even my cat but that poor family  .
Luna is fine her wound has healed beautifully and we were in there for all of a minute with the vet himself. So glad, she couldnt get back in the carrier quickly enough and headed straight for my mum when she got home. |
You are absolutely not an idiot. The vets have been doing their jobs for years usually, they understand. It's no different than nearly crying (or crying) for a human who isn't related to you. Why do you think the other people looked away? You weren't the only person holding back tears.
EDIT: I think if I was a vet in that situation, I'd completely ignore all the ******** about professional standards and, if the human wanted, give them a cuddle (or hug if you prefer that term).
