Blue Juice Euthanasia In Veterinary MedicineBy Patricia Morris

Blue Juice: Euthanasia in Veterinary Medicine explores the emotional, ethical, and professional complexities veterinarians face when performing euthanasia. Drawing from immersive ethnographic fieldwork in veterinary hospitals, the author, Patricia Morris, delves into how vets navigate disagreements with pet owners, manage grief, stage “good deaths,” and cope with the psychological toll of ending animal lives. The book also addresses how modern pet-human bonds reshape euthanasia into a shared ritual, often resembling a funeral. Blue Juice: Euthanasia in Veterinary Medicine provides valuable sociological insight into the evolving role of veterinarians as both caregivers and end-of-life facilitators.
