Tierarztpraxis Rankgasse Mag. med. vet. Nina Brabetz

Word of advice: Never bring your pet to a vet if euthanasia could be on the table; first get an unconditional assurence that nothing is going to be done against your will. - Modern medical science both in humans and pets offers a substantial variety of remedies even for those terminally ill. Except in extreme outliers, in pets euthanasia is default only for those too uneducated or lazy, i.e. those who don't want to bear costs and efforts of care work. In contrast to that, symptom-oriented treatment offers everything a pet hypothetically could ask for. Now this trigger-happy vet is going to have none of it: Pentobarbital for everything she considers unworthy of living, which if you disagree she's going to enforce anyway. During interactions it becomes obvious that she's got an weirdly humanising approach where she cannot handle the basic facts of life: serious ailing cannot be allowed to exist, putting the pet down is 'cleaner'. She has neither an idea of, nor interest in palliative care, even though that ignorance costs her a lot of money that those willing to avoid the convenient shortcut of euthanasia are willing to pay. When factually challenged she's unable to explain her point in a science-based matter-of-fact way, her overall communication style is authoritarian and borderline intrusive. Your unpleasant visit at her ordination is going to be crowned by images of her almost smooching with dogs and rows of packages containing torn-off rabbit ears Frankenstein-style for sale as dog toys in the waiting area. Again this humanising morbidity. In summary: a decent fit for a butcher, as vet professional: unreal.
