Head of Business Development & Growth at Midtown Mobile Veterinary Hospice Services-Dr. Faith Banks - Toronto, ON, US
MMVS provides compassionate geriatric and end-of-life care for your loved pets, all in the comfort and privacy of your home. Description Midtown Mobile Veterinary Services is an in-home veterinary practice that focuses on ill and aging pets. Geriatric consultations, palliative care and/or hospice consultations will all begin with a review of your pet's medical history followed by a discussion of your pet's current condition or illness. A physical examination and detailed evaluation will allow Dr. Banks to determine whether or not your pet may be in pain. In-home consultations allow proper observation of your pet in their normal environment allowing identification of any areas of concern. We will discuss your pet's nutritional and hydration needs, quality of life, pain management and much, much more. An in-depth conversation regarding your concerns, fears, needs, and goals regarding the condition of your pet including frank discussions about end-of-life/euthanasia, where appropriate, will also occur. Within a few days you will receive a personalized plan with information on the care of your pet. All of the information shared during the consultation will be included in your personalized plan, as well as information and action plans to help ensure your pet does not suffer during his or her last weeks or days at home. Dr. Banks can also work with your regular veterinarian to set up in-home care for treatments they have recommended. If you are having feelings of guilt about euthanizing your pet or you are not sure if this is the right time to do it, an end-of-life/euthanasia consultation with Dr. Banks may help make this heart-wrenching decision easier.
