Yesterday, I had to put my sweet old pug, Brick, to rest. I recently moved to Billings, and came to Shiloh when he had a cough back in December. They took great care of us then, so when I needed to make this decision, it's where I wanted to go. The receptionists were so kind and understanding of my situation and made it feel very personal. I was overwhelmed by how warm and special the euthanasia room was. The space was private and it felt comforting. Dr. Mansur and her tech were so unbelievably kind to me and my boy. While I sat on the floor with him, she sat on the floor across from me and talked to me about what was going to happen. The tech (I'm sorry, I can't remember her name), was also on the floor with us. They made it so personal and I was comfortable handing him off to them. After the catheter was put in, they brought him back and the tech gave me a blanket to put on my lap while I held him. As the drug was given, and I was in tears, the tech held my arm and I knew she shared my pain. As I held him afterwards, they asked me about him and his life before this. The tech then gave me time to hold him alone, and then she came to take him. Dr. Mansur and the tech made the experience as good as a experience like this could be. Their bedside manner brought me so much comfort. I can not express in words how much I appreciate everything they did for us. I will forever recommend Shiloh to anyone and everyone.Read Less
