Euthanasia

Hello, I’ve been working at as a vet assistant at a GP clinic for about a year now. I don’t know if it’s just this clinic but we do so many euthanasias. Some days can be up to 7 and these can be a combination of scheduled visits for euth, QOL or they are calling that day. There are some days/weeks where it slows down but there’s at least one per day. I was just wondering what’s happening at other clinics since this is the first one i’ve worked at. We are at 4 doctor practice that’s been open since 1940.

I personally think this is pneumonia but tell me if I’m wrong.
