In-Home, End-of-Life Care Available for Pets

EverLoved Veterinary provides end-of-life care for geriatric and terminally-ill pets in the comfort of their homes within the Mobile and Eastern Shore area. Certified in veterinary medical acupuncture and rehabilitation, owner Dr. Lydia Sullivan developed a passion for working with geriatric and terminally-ill pets while practicing primary care in Florida.
“I found my work with end-of-life and euthanasia patients to be sacred. Yes, it’s sad and heartbreaking, but I am honored and grateful for clients who trust me with that event in their lives,” she says.
End-of-life care is dedicated to keeping patients comfortable and mobile for as long as possible without invasive treatments. Symptoms are managed with therapeutic modalities such as massage therapy, acupuncture, exercises, medications, supplements and environmental adjustments. Initial home visits last around an hour to assess the patient’s condition and living environment, and thoroughly discuss expectations and a treatment plan with the human family members.
Sullivan notes, “Though caring for a geriatric or terminally-ill loved one is a very personal experience, it is not one you have to face alone—I’m here for the entire family. Together we formulate a manageable plan for both day-to-day and long-term care.”
