I remember this couple from Vet on the Hill and were so afraid to have their dogs spayed and neutered. I am so happy with the outcome. Thank you Dr. Scott for helping Betty. I bet your Betty was there holding her paw 🐾 and making sure she came out the other side ❤️🐕❤️
I like that you admit how deep the bond was with your Betty. I understand completely. I have never been able to stop being sad after I lost my dog, a Boston Terrier , that was THE special dog of my life and I am 71 and have had many dogs over the years, but my Boston was the star in the pack. I couldn't keep his pictures that I had in frames around my house for a long while. Now it has been well over 15 yrs, I finally am able to put them back up and not cry every time I look at them. I love a vet who loves his own animals in the way you have expressed, that tells me I have a special Vet! Recently a family pet, an English Bulldog that we rescued three years ago, suddenly had a growth on his jowel. Before we could even get an appointment scheduled, it broke open and we had a blood bath in our utility room where his food dish is, he must have caught it while eating and broke it open. He was rushed into the Vet and it was removed but the pathology report was not just daunting, it was AWFUL in that the type of cancer was the worst kind, no treatment options available and we were told it would grow back and quite possibly we would see another growth in his lymph glands in the neck. We knew what was coming so we took him home and spoiled him as much as we could, took lots of family pictures and did all the things with him that he liked to do like car rides just for the sake of taking him out. Six weeks went by and the dreaded lump in the lymph glands in his neck had a golf ball size lump and we knew what was coming. We did not wait until he refused food or until he lost the ability to enjoy daily life, instead we decided to give him the love he deserved by having him euthanized before all the negative things happened. It was just awful, we were blessed that our vet and his assistant already had a great bond with him as we had been taking him there often as he came to us with chronic ear problems . So he had no idea that he was not coming home , he had no fear, he played with the vet and the assistant as he always did and we were there at his side when the sedative was given, and also when the euthanasia shot was given. He never knew a thing and that helped us somewhat that he not only did not suffer at home but went quietly to sleep on the sedative and on to doggie heaven. We still take our other dogs to the same vet and its hard to be in the same offices but we manage. He was given to us by a rescue that knew my brother had always wanted an English Bulldog and my brother was himself going through cancer treatment for a tumor in his neck and when Otto the Bulldog came into our lives he bonded with my brother right away and on the bad days he gave comfort to my brother. My brother beat his cancer and it was only shortly thereafter that Otto was found to also have cancer. So, my brother gave Otto the same love and comfort till the end. WE miss this dog very much.
I lost my lovely orange cat Ryan two years ago. He was 16 and I was lucky to have him so long. All the pets I’ve had are special, but some get just a little deeper into your heart
Thank you for being brave enough, and clear-sighted enough, to give your beloved friend that last act of kindness BEFORE he went through the miseries of advancing cancer side effects. Cancer treatments are harsh, painful and debilitating. A human patient can reason that it MAY be worth going through all that for a positive future end result. No way can we communicate that to a dog (or cat, horse ..) who live in the moment, without a concept of 'future'. 🦮
The story of your beloved bulldog got me thinking of how I said goodbye to my heart and soul dog, my beloved tiny black toy poodle named Phoebe. She was 14 and ten months. Although it wasn't cancer, the last two and a half months were hard for both of us. I asked her to tell me when she was ready, though it was a constant struggle to know what was best for her, if what I was doing for her was right for her, but the night before her time she clearly looked straight into my eyes with such pure love and trust telling me that she was ready to go. Almost every night and day I was able to stay right beside her for the last two and a half months of her life, but that night was the most quiet, calm, and filled with love that I have never felt in my entire life. She was sleeping in her favorite bed, without pain and comfortable, and we held our hand and paw together until the sun came up. Although we humans could probably never be sure to know if it was the right decision for her or not, in my heart I felt it was time she chose to let me know she was ready. Losing our beloved pets is never easy and always devastating to us, but those precious moments we could, fortunately, share with our hearts and souls pets are forever treasures in our lives for sure. Thank you for sharing your story. I was not able to be brave like you, but I have no regrets about my decision to let her go on that morning. I can't wait to see my baby again when my time comes.
@@naomitakimoto7295 So sorry for your loss. We have a kinship all of us who love our dogs. I cannot believe how special animals are, the ones I have been blessed with made a huge difference in my ability to cope with life; a dog's unconditional love is a gift from God to help us enjoy life when we are lonely, sick, worried, sad....any number of things that surely would be more difficult to get through without our dear pets! even though I am soon to be 72, I still have one 14 yr old rescue and when he goes to doggie heaven I will get another. I have always written my wishes about my animals in case of my early death or now what I want when I go. I have younger family members who have assured me they will take whatever dog I may still have when I leave to go home. Some people say it is not "fair" for me at my age to take in a puppy or young dog, but as long as I know IN ADVANCE that they will be taken in by family, I can be unapologetic about giving a pup or a senior dog a home and love.
God is with you always Dr Scott and so His blessings that you have beeb performing the most complicated surgery that i have followed up for long and belive all your team and assistants will learn a lot from your expirience. my love and prayers for your good health and long life to save the animals in need. Love from Tanzania
I lost my dog Shirley last year. I’m still grieving for her. Like you said, of all my pets over 56 years, Shirley was my heart and soul. She was 15.5, my beautiful rescue. We rescued each other. ❤️⭐️🇨🇦
OMG Scott I'm beyond sorry to hear of the passing of you're dog Betty I remember when she became Paralyzed in that freak accident while playing, I as well as all of you're fans of Vet On the Hill could see how much you loved her
You are an amazing human and vet, Dr. Scott.❤ The world is a better place because of you, and so many pets and their owners are so lucky to have found you. Thank you for helping spaniel Betty. Your Betty is still with you, forever.❤
RIP Betty. You overcame such adversity when you couldn’t walk. You were so loved by Scott and his family and were such a huge part of their lives. God Bless Scott to you and your family
Well, I have to be honest! I avoided watching this one for two days, because I lost my Callie, after she had a tumor on her back leg! She was eighteen years old, and had the tumor removed once, and it was so tramatic for us, because the stitches didn't hold, and she had an open wound that had to heal shut, and I just bawled! I used honey on it, and it started doing really well, and finally closed! But then, her kidneys started to go! She didn't want to eat! I fed her baby food with a shringe, and she was doing well, but then the tumor came back! She didn't live very long after, and we were all by her side, when she left this world! It has been six months, and I think about her all of the time as well! So sorry about Betty, Scott! I know exactly how you feel! :) Hugs!
I know what you’re going through, I lost my beautiful Mia she was a German Shepherd that was 2 yrs ago and I still carry her leash in my bag. I think it’s symbolic as I feel she’s with me all the time. I doubt I will ever get over the loss 🥲
I lost my Charlotte (cat) to mammary cancer in October. I only had her for three years and she had 7 surgeries in that time. When it was time to say good bye it was so hard but you have to do your best for your pet. My vet, like Scott, is amazing as is her team. It he,ps knowing how much they care about your pet. I hope their Betty has many years to come.
Awww love senior pups, I lost my girl almost a year ago to old dog disease and dementia! She was 14 and a half and full of life till the last week of her life then things went south fast! She lost conciseness on the way to the vet and passed shortly after. While she was losing her mind she was in my arms in the back seat of my mother’s car! Her name was Bella and she was a german shepherd border collie mix but 100% adorable and loving!
That was the hardest and most emotional to watch of all the videos so far 😢 I remember Royston and Laura from a vet on the hill video when they had one of their pugs treated for pyometra. It was very evident how much their dogs mean to them and how much faith and trust they rightly have in you as a vet. It was clear to see you were putting your heart and soul into the surgery for Betty and doing everything you could to ensure the best possible outcome for them and enable them to continue having a lovely life with each other. It was completely understandable how bitter sweet this must’ve been for you in remembering your own beloved Betty and how much you wish she was still here with you 💔💓 You are an incredible vet and person and do such amazing work 👏🏻 and I so wish I lived closer to your surgery so I could have you as the vet for my dog as I would be certain then that he’d get the best possible treatment from someone that really has his best interests at heart ❤
I lost my dog last October…I still cry talking about him he was one in a million,never been poorly and we was hit with the big one.10yrs of love and loyalty and was gone within a week!!…im still trying to master getting out of this depression I’m in.my life isn’t the same 😢… it’s comforting knowing others too feel like it…what is the cure Dr.Scott?your an amazing vet and compassionate love the videos
I lost my beautiful kitty Annikah three days ago and she was so very special to me I can't even put into words. I understand how you feel. It leaves a big hole in your life and your heart. I hold her picture and say prayers for her and it hurts so much. I'm sending hugs to you and wish you comfort and healing. I hope it helps that I understand what you are going through. 💖💖💖💖🤗💖💖
I know it’s incredibly difficult.. I lost my very dear pet to old age when I was living in Japan, I had him his whole life and he got cancer on his liver and there was nothing more we could do. His heart was so strong but the liver couldn’t be fixed. If you are still looking for solace, this might sound strange, but there are Buddhist mantras that are spoken to help calm and guide the spirit of departed pets on their journey through the afterlife. Different buddhas (you can think of them as angels if you like) are ready at all times to give compassionate love and guide our loved ones after they have left us. So even if you don’t really believe in it, you can say this gentle prayer for your dog and maybe it will bring comfort because many people DO believe in it, and their faith will support you even from far away. “Om ami dewa hri” brings the light, and blessings of the Buddha named “Amida”, to your pet’s spirit. So they say.
@@jamess950 Thank you for this Buddhist mantra. My dear friend and companion kitty Annikah passed last month due to old age of 21 years. Although she lived a very long happy life it has left a big hole in my heart. I will use this prayer and I hope it helps the person who made this post about losing their dog. It is so difficult losing our sweet loving fur babies and I feel your pain in losing your dear pet. 🙏Prayers and blessings to you and your dear pet who has passed.💖
My sweet rescue, Chili Pepper, passed away the day after Christmas. We adopted him knowing he was old and had a heart murmur. We had him ten years with no health problems. Just before Thanksgiving he developed a cough. I know thats not good. He suffered for less than a day. Im suffering every day missing my little chihuahua.
I’m sorry to hear about Betty. I know she meant the world to Scott. I remember the episode of Vet on a Hill where Betty was hurt and Scott was ready to overturn the world if it meant that he could help her.
My heart goes out to your I lost my beloved gretta17 years. It's been a year and I can't think about her without crying to this day. God bless you. God bless your work. Dawnene
I love the new show, Dr Scott! I was missing you. You are an amazing vet. I was so sorry to hear that Betty had passed....I thought she was so sweet....
Hi Dr Scott. I enjoy watching your videos. You come across as a really loving caring Vet with a brilliant bed side manner. The love between our fur babies & us is beyond words, I lost my wonderful little Henry just before Christmas he was a chihuahua/ yorkie a rescue dog . we had 7 glorious years together I still cry I miss him so much. & he was so poorly but my lovely Vet made his passing so peaceful. Thankyou for your videos & God Bless you.
Scott I am deeply sorry for the loss of your beloved Betty but I know he is watching over you from heaven and I am sure he loves you deeply and I know your love will forever be in your hearts.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I remember them too! I love how nostalgic Rescue Vet is for me. I remember the terrifying ordeal when Betty got hurt and the heartbreak when she passed later. It's great to see old clients with old and new animals and I'm so excited to be here for this journey.
I like that Scott is honest about removing the cancer. No vet can guarantee that they removed all the cancer and even if they did there are no guarantees that it won't come back.
Dr. Scott Miller, you are such an amazing vet and kind person. May you always be safe and blessed. Thank you so much for being you. Great job on the dog.
I think about my cat i lost a few years ago all the time, too. He made it to 17. He was the most loving cat I've ever had and we had such a strong bond. He would greet me every morning, every time I returned from an errand, and he'd stay with me in bed purring until I fell asleep at night. There will never be another quite like him.
I remember sweet Betty from Vet on the Hill. My sincere condolences. It's so hard to loose a soulmate. Betty will always be alive in the hearts of all the people who loved her. ❤
Dr. Scott, I rescued a 10-12 year old large minature Male Poodle. His front leg was amputated deeply at the shoulder, he had been hit by a car. Oliver gets around very well, he can trot when he wants too. Now, if he could just listen to what I tell him to do! I have a naughty senior Tripod Poodle, but he is super friendly. Dr. Scott, you did great on this surgery video, as always!
So sorry you lost Betty, I remember her from her broken back and the trauma you experienced. Our pets are a part of our lives, and when they pass, they take a piece of us with them. So glad this Betty made it, she is a beautiful girl.
As one Aussie to another you are a good guy Scott!! I am so happy you have your new show as I have never missed one of your videos because you are a great vet and are so compassionate with your patients. ❤❤❤
Scott, I know how much your Betty meant to you. I had a cat that I felt much the same way about. He got cancer and I lost him a few years ago. I still cry when I think about him and how much I loved him.
You are a great vet you don’t only treat them but you also love them. This video brought tears in my eyes. I already lost 4 dogs. Our last shih tzu was only 8. Now our shih tzu is already 9 and although he is in very good health I’m always scared to loose him. He is our baby. ❤❤
I understand how you feel. We lost a dog who was aged 12 to Cushing Disease while staying overnight at the vet’s. We got another Maltese/Shih Tzu X who died under the exact same circumstances at aged 12. My Dad then got a Shih Tzu puppy but Dad passed away when she was 13 months old. She became mine and when she reached 12 I was so scared that history would repeat itself again. I was so glad when she got to 13, then 14. I finally had to euthanise her a few weeks before her 17th birthday after she had a stroke. That was on 21 Feb 2020 and I miss her so much. I wish you all the best with your fur baby and hope he lives a long and good life. 💔🐾🇳🇿
If your shih tzu is 9, and healthy, he can live many more years. My mom’s dog, who was her shadow at home, passed at 16. The two remaining ,one closer to 17th birthday, and the last one, with pus on one mammary gland at 14, survived for two more years. The vet had suggested not to go through surgery to remove the breast, at her age. And because it was pus, he used local anaesthetic on that breast and removed as much pus as possible, then used an injected antibiotic. She was prescribed oral and topical antibiotic. But it kept recurring.
That was a very tough video to watch and hit home right from the start as I had a wonderful springer that I sadly lost at around the same age 😢. I miss her every day and without her I wouldn’t be here today as she saved my life by alerting my family when I had an unexpected medical emergency , such a clever girl 😢🐶❤️. It was evident from the start how emotional this case was for you and how much it meant to you and reminding you of your own beloved Betty who was such a wonderful girl and is definitely watching over her dad with absolute pride and love for everything you do for all the animals you help 💓🐶. You and your team worked so hard together to ensure the best possible outcome for this lovely Betty and to give her and her loving owners more quality time together 👏🏻❤️. I really feel for you in how hard that was to have all those thoughts and emotions about loosing Betty and wishing you could have her back as I feel the same for my gorgeous girl 💔😢. You are an amazing vet and person and your skills, experience and the compassion and dedication you show to every animal and their owners is wonderful to see ❤❤
Wow! What an amazing video! I love your new channel and I'm sorry for your loss of your Betty. I know that you are in joying Mango with all your Heart and Soul!
Betty, take courage because you are a fantastic dog, enjoy your best years with the people who love you the most because you are full of love and joy, I wish you all the best and love of this m❤❤❤❤❤❤
My grandog “Dozer “ was very much loved. He was gentle and kind . No health issues. Till one day a big lump appeared .It was an exploded spleen and had to be put down . The vet said he was born with bad spleen . My son and I still miss him so much . Don’t want to talk about shepherd mix .Hurts still so much 3 years ago 😢
That was a big challenge for you and the team. Epic surgical work and extending her life with the removal of that life altering form of cancer was a gift for Betty and her family. Never feel that you are alone in your feelings of deep loss over your own special little soul that has passed away. I still cry over my sweet Savannah Bengal Cat who died at 9 yrs after a severe stroke in 2016. She was gone in 30 mins and it was so unexpected. I too think of her every single day. She was my joy, my little shadow and best friend too! 😢❤ That was more painful than going thru my divorce. ❤
Oh Scott- you’re an awesome vet. I only wished you was here in the beautiful state of Alabama in USA. I don’t know when you lost Betty. I remember her as a gentle soul. I am sorry for your loss. Thank you for such lovely videos such as this. Take care and be blessed!!
I'm sorry for your lost It's never easy losing a pet, especially one that was your whole world But I know Betty is proud of you for the number of lives you save every day, and I bet she gave Betty more time for that family Betty will always be by your side until you two meet again
Tears the whole way through. I have two heart dogs at the moment and they turn 9 this year. Dreading the day I have to say goodbye because it will literally break me into a million pieces.
Dr Scott in all the years I have watched you on TV this is one of the times I have really felt ur heart and souls and LOVE when u talk about YOUR Betty… u r a Good Egg
The dog Betty in this video strongly resembles my new girl, Ashley. I adopted her 2 days ago. I fostered puppies for 9 years, and she was one of 2 'failures.' The resemblance is so strong that I decided to mention it.
So glad to see a second chance for Betty and her family. Dr Scott, some take a bit of us with them. We lost our girl at 6.25 years despite all the right tests and visits. Cancer doesn't care how much pain it inflicts.
I lost my precious GSD, Ziva three years ago and I still grieve for her every single day. Dr. Scott explained perfectly the way I feel. Never, ever before have I felt the degree of sadness that I felt when she died. She was my girl and losing her was the most gut-wrenching sorrow.that I’ve ever gone thru. I’m so very sorry for the loss of your sweet Betty, Dr. Scott.
Scott don't be sad because Betty will always be with you and you with her will always be one thing that only you can understand a big hug from Italy Valentina ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
As always, Scott's compassion is so evident as is his love for his patients and their owners. I have watched Betty's story many times, and each time I am reminded of the loss Scott suffered as well as I and anyone who has owned a pet. Continue the great work Scott
I lost my Gadget, German Spitz Klein, 3 years ago 💔💔💔 He lived a full life to 15 years, 9 months and 23 days , and his urn is standing on table, between my husband and I, so his stil.here, and forever in our hearts ❤❤❤
Hi Doc, I’m elderly I have enjoyed watching you through the years. I probably will not be writing you messages as I watch you on my television on uTube. I will watch as much as I can ❤ you good luck with your new adventure ❤🧑🏼🦳🌵👍🏼👏🏼😸
Thank you Dr.Scott for everything that you do. You give your whole heart and love to all your patients. I am so sorry to hear hearabout the passing of your Betty.
Dogs have a special way of working their ways into our hearts and souls. Thirteen years later, I still miss my wonderful GSD each and every day. She’s still and always very missed. I hope sweet Betty does very well.
To have that learned skill of being a vet, and the natural love for animals and your friends, is a huge gift, a wonderful combination which gives you the joy of returning animals to their owners, ready to rumble again after illness and trauma, so that they spread the love again in their families at home. Even with its attendant painful times, your job is a great gift. Thank you for doing it with such love.
Hey Dr Scott, I just wanted to say how much I absolutely love your new channel. The genuine love and care you give your patients and their owners is second to none. I also commend you for letting us into a bit of your heart each episode, I think that's incredibly brave yet challenging of you. I can't wait to watch many more episodes on your new chanel. Keep being brilliant mate, lots of love and hugs of support to you.
I had wondered what happened to Betty, since I hadn't seen her in any videos. I am sorry for your loss. She was a wonderful member of your family. RIP, Betty!
Dr. Scott u r so real and not afraid to show it. I so love that about u! I cry every time I now see old videos of ur Betty and how she was ur first love and how much u cared for her, especially during the time of her spinal injury! Much love to u and ur family from Louisville Kentucky USA!❤
Feel for these lovely owners....I have lost three rescue dogs in the last 5 years...Can't tell you how awful this has been...Thinking of another rescue but can't go through that again so thinking of getting a younger dog instead of middle aged....But the oldies pull on my heartstrings 😢
Hi Dr Scott I'm so sorry to hear that you lost Betty I remember when she hurt her back when you were at the park playing with her and the trauma that y'all went through and how dedicated you were to get her through that. thank you for helping this Betty and her family I'm sure your Betty was there watching over her can't wait to watch another video Have a wonderful day and thank you for all that you do for animals God bless❤❤❤❤
So sorry for your loss of your Betty. Scott, you have a very loving special heart towards animals and I am so glad you are on a new adventure that you have wanted for a while. You spoke of wanting to move into the country and work with the animals in the country side. Looking forward to your new videos. ❤
I was blessed to have a heart dog who went to the rainbow bridge 3 years ago The grief is profound and carves your heart out. To all the pet owners out there, know that you are not alone 😢
Dr. Scott, I admire your dedication as a great veterinarian. Your caring demeanor towards your patients and to the owners. If I lived in your area, I'd want you to be my vet, for my kitty, Bing! I live in the US and also have a caring vet for my kitty. I worry about veterinarians these days with all the pressures of the job. They say that the suicide rate in veterinarians is very high. Mental health is very important in your field. Taking days off to do something fun with the family does help with this. The fact that you have changed your routine to the new channel of Rescue Vet is good. As the old saying goes, “Change is good!” I'm so sorry for the loss of your dog, Betty. If only a beloved pet could live as long as our lifetime. I lost my dear kitty 2 years ago, Dusty Blue. He had kidney failure, and on the way to the Animal ER, he died in my arms. He was 16 years old. I miss him every day!!! My other cat, Bing, misses him, too!
I am glad to see that I am not the only one who has trouble getting over my dog’s passing. Jake was a golden and he was my 🩷dog. I had such a bond with him and when cancer took him I was devastated. Even though I got two more dogs two months after he died I just could not get over it. That was almost ten years ago and I still miss him. Now I have two almost ten year old dogs and I hope their lives don’t end like that.
Watching you made me happy and sad at the same time. It is just so amazing that the person you are genuinely loves animals. I wish that i could find a vet like you. I live in Louisville, Kentucky (USA), and i have been a couple of different clinics here, and none show that kindness. My heart dog was bleeding from her bottom. i called my vet and told them i was 5 min away, their 1st response was they close in 15 min, i would have pay the overtime pay for the technician if i came there or just go ahead and take her to the emergency vet clinic. Those are the types of vets we have here, only a business, not for the love of animals.😢 I am sorry you lost your heart, Betty. Just remember she is watching over you and will meet again someday.❤❤
Found your new Chanel the other day and had to subscribe. I'm in tears hearing about Betty. As others, we watched you go thru her major back surgery and the therapy your gave her daily. Stay true to your heart.
I remember this couple from Vet on the Hill and were so afraid to have their dogs spayed and neutered. I am so happy with the outcome. Thank you Dr. Scott for helping Betty. I bet your Betty was there holding her paw 🐾 and making sure she came out the other side ❤️🐕❤️
I thought so! Thanks.
I, too, remember them from Vet on the Hill. ❤️❤️
Dorothy - what you said is absolutely beautiful...and it helps to think that way!!!
I was just going to say is the couple that nearly loss the dog due the fact that they were scared about speying.
@@norabrown5584 yes it was. I am so happy that Scott has a good outcome
Who COULDN'T fall in love with Betty !!!! The love and kindness in that girl's eyes !! She has a very special soul❤❤❤
I love this new series! We get to see a bit more of your personality and your love of animals. This episode was beautiful ❤
I like that you admit how deep the bond was with your Betty. I understand completely. I have never been able to stop being sad after I lost my dog, a Boston Terrier , that was THE special dog of my life and I am 71 and have had many dogs over the years, but my Boston was the star in the pack. I couldn't keep his pictures that I had in frames around my house for a long while. Now it has been well over 15 yrs, I finally am able to put them back up and not cry every time I look at them. I love a vet who loves his own animals in the way you have expressed, that tells me I have a special Vet! Recently a family pet, an English Bulldog that we rescued three years ago, suddenly had a growth on his jowel. Before we could even get an appointment scheduled, it broke open and we had a blood bath in our utility room where his food dish is, he must have caught it while eating and broke it open. He was rushed into the Vet and it was removed but the pathology report was not just daunting, it was AWFUL in that the type of cancer was the worst kind, no treatment options available and we were told it would grow back and quite possibly we would see another growth in his lymph glands in the neck. We knew what was coming so we took him home and spoiled him as much as we could, took lots of family pictures and did all the things with him that he liked to do like car rides just for the sake of taking him out. Six weeks went by and the dreaded lump in the lymph glands in his neck had a golf ball size lump and we knew what was coming. We did not wait until he refused food or until he lost the ability to enjoy daily life, instead we decided to give him the love he deserved by having him euthanized before all the negative things happened. It was just awful, we were blessed that our vet and his assistant already had a great bond with him as we had been taking him there often as he came to us with chronic ear problems . So he had no idea that he was not coming home , he had no fear, he played with the vet and the assistant as he always did and we were there at his side when the sedative was given, and also when the euthanasia shot was given. He never knew a thing and that helped us somewhat that he not only did not suffer at home but went quietly to sleep on the sedative and on to doggie heaven. We still take our other dogs to the same vet and its hard to be in the same offices but we manage. He was given to us by a rescue that knew my brother had always wanted an English Bulldog and my brother was himself going through cancer treatment for a tumor in his neck and when Otto the Bulldog came into our lives he bonded with my brother right away and on the bad days he gave comfort to my brother. My brother beat his cancer and it was only shortly thereafter that Otto was found to also have cancer. So, my brother gave Otto the same love and comfort till the end. WE miss this dog very much.
I agree but I lost my best friend a few years ago 😢😢
I lost my lovely orange cat Ryan two years ago. He was 16 and I was lucky to have him so long. All the pets I’ve had are special, but some get just a little deeper into your heart
Thank you for being brave enough, and clear-sighted enough, to give your beloved friend that last act of kindness BEFORE he went through the miseries of advancing cancer side effects. Cancer treatments are harsh, painful and debilitating. A human patient can reason that it MAY be worth going through all that for a positive future end result. No way can we communicate that to a dog (or cat, horse ..) who live in the moment, without a concept of 'future'. 🦮
The story of your beloved bulldog got me thinking of how I said goodbye to my heart and soul dog, my beloved tiny black toy poodle named Phoebe.
She was 14 and ten months. Although it wasn't cancer, the last two and a half months were hard for both of us. I asked her to tell me when she was ready, though it was a constant struggle to know what was best for her, if what I was doing for her was right for her, but the night before her time she clearly looked straight into my eyes with such pure love and trust telling me that she was ready to go. Almost every night and day I was able to stay right beside her for the last two and a half months of her life, but that night was the most quiet, calm, and filled with love that I have never felt in my entire life. She was sleeping in her favorite bed, without pain and comfortable, and we held our hand and paw together until the sun came up.
Although we humans could probably never be sure to know if it was the right decision for her or not, in my heart I felt it was time she chose to let me know she was ready.
Losing our beloved pets is never easy and always devastating to us, but those precious moments we could, fortunately, share with our hearts and souls pets are forever treasures in our lives for sure.
Thank you for sharing your story. I was not able to be brave like you, but I have no regrets about my decision to let her go on that morning.
I can't wait to see my baby again when my time comes.
@@naomitakimoto7295 So sorry for your loss. We have a kinship all of us who love our dogs. I cannot believe how special animals are, the ones I have been blessed with made a huge difference in my ability to cope with life; a dog's unconditional love is a gift from God to help us enjoy life when we are lonely, sick, worried, sad....any number of things that surely would be more difficult to get through without our dear pets! even though I am soon to be 72, I still have one 14 yr old rescue and when he goes to doggie heaven I will get another. I have always written my wishes about my animals in case of my early death or now what I want when I go. I have younger family members who have assured me they will take whatever dog I may still have when I leave to go home. Some people say it is not "fair" for me at my age to take in a puppy or young dog, but as long as I know IN ADVANCE that they will be taken in by family, I can be unapologetic about giving a pup or a senior dog a home and love.
God is with you always Dr Scott and so His blessings that you have beeb performing the most complicated surgery that i have followed up for long and belive all your team and assistants will learn a lot from your expirience. my love and prayers for your good health and long life to save the animals in need. Love from Tanzania
I lost my dog Shirley last year. I’m still grieving for her. Like you said, of all my pets over 56 years, Shirley was my heart and soul. She was 15.5, my beautiful rescue. We rescued each other. ❤️⭐️🇨🇦
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😘
OMG Scott I'm beyond sorry to hear of the passing of you're dog Betty I remember when she became Paralyzed in that freak accident while playing, I as well as all of you're fans of Vet On the Hill could see how much you loved her
That was a great episode. Sweet Betty, she's such a gorgeous girl, as was your sweet Betty
You are an amazing human and vet, Dr. Scott.❤ The world is a better place because of you, and so many pets and their owners are so lucky to have found you. Thank you for helping spaniel Betty. Your Betty is still with you, forever.❤
RIP Betty. You overcame such adversity when you couldn’t walk. You were so loved by Scott and his family and were such a huge part of their lives. God Bless Scott to you and your family
Well, I have to be honest! I avoided watching this one for two days, because I lost my Callie, after she had a tumor on her back leg! She was eighteen years old, and had the tumor removed once, and it was so tramatic for us, because the stitches didn't hold, and she had an open wound that had to heal shut, and I just bawled! I used honey on it, and it started doing really well, and finally closed! But then, her kidneys started to go! She didn't want to eat! I fed her baby food with a shringe, and she was doing well, but then the tumor came back! She didn't live very long after, and we were all by her side, when she left this world! It has been six months, and I think about her all of the time as well! So sorry about Betty, Scott! I know exactly how you feel! :) Hugs!
I know what you’re going through, I lost my beautiful Mia she was a German Shepherd that was 2 yrs ago and I still carry her leash in my bag. I think it’s symbolic as I feel she’s with me all the time. I doubt I will ever get over the loss 🥲
I lost my Charlotte (cat) to mammary cancer in October. I only had her for three years and she had 7 surgeries in that time. When it was time to say good bye it was so hard but you have to do your best for your pet. My vet, like Scott, is amazing as is her team. It he,ps knowing how much they care about your pet. I hope their Betty has many years to come.
Well done . Very emotional. I wish you were our vet 😊
Awww love senior pups, I lost my girl almost a year ago to old dog disease and dementia! She was 14 and a half and full of life till the last week of her life then things went south fast! She lost conciseness on the way to the vet and passed shortly after. While she was losing her mind she was in my arms in the back seat of my mother’s car! Her name was Bella and she was a german shepherd border collie mix but 100% adorable and loving!
The caring you show to all the animals you treat makes you a cut above the average Vet. ❤
The LOVE & CARE you gave to Betty was PRECIOUS ! 💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛
That was the hardest and most emotional to watch of all the videos so far 😢 I remember Royston and Laura from a vet on the hill video when they had one of their pugs treated for pyometra. It was very evident how much their dogs mean to them and how much faith and trust they rightly have in you as a vet. It was clear to see you were putting your heart and soul into the surgery for Betty and doing everything you could to ensure the best possible outcome for them and enable them to continue having a lovely life with each other. It was completely understandable how bitter sweet this must’ve been for you in remembering your own beloved Betty and how much you wish she was still here with you 💔💓 You are an incredible vet and person and do such amazing work 👏🏻 and I so wish I lived closer to your surgery so I could have you as the vet for my dog as I would be certain then that he’d get the best possible treatment from someone that really has his best interests at heart ❤
I lost my dog last October…I still cry talking about him he was one in a million,never been poorly and we was hit with the big one.10yrs of love and loyalty and was gone within a week!!…im still trying to master getting out of this depression I’m in.my life isn’t the same 😢… it’s comforting knowing others too feel like it…what is the cure Dr.Scott?your an amazing vet and compassionate love the videos
I'm very sorry for your loss. Losing your best friend is a heavy, soul crushing loss. You never get over it, you just learn how to deal with it.
@@AnitaBetterScreenname thank you…I hope I learn fast cuz this is so painful 😣
I lost my beautiful kitty Annikah three days ago and she was so very special to me I can't even put into words. I understand how you feel. It leaves a big hole in your life and your heart. I hold her picture and say prayers for her and it hurts so much. I'm sending hugs to you and wish you comfort and healing. I hope it helps that I understand what you are going through. 💖💖💖💖🤗💖💖
I know it’s incredibly difficult.. I lost my very dear pet to old age when I was living in Japan, I had him his whole life and he got cancer on his liver and there was nothing more we could do. His heart was so strong but the liver couldn’t be fixed. If you are still looking for solace, this might sound strange, but there are Buddhist mantras that are spoken to help calm and guide the spirit of departed pets on their journey through the afterlife. Different buddhas (you can think of them as angels if you like) are ready at all times to give compassionate love and guide our loved ones after they have left us. So even if you don’t really believe in it, you can say this gentle prayer for your dog and maybe it will bring comfort because many people DO believe in it, and their faith will support you even from far away. “Om ami dewa hri” brings the light, and blessings of the Buddha named “Amida”, to your pet’s spirit. So they say.
@@jamess950 Thank you for this Buddhist mantra. My dear friend and companion kitty Annikah passed last month due to old age of 21 years. Although she lived a very long happy life it has left a big hole in my heart. I will use this prayer and I hope it helps the person who made this post about losing their dog. It is so difficult losing our sweet loving fur babies and I feel your pain in losing your dear pet. 🙏Prayers and blessings to you and your dear pet who has passed.💖
My sweet rescue, Chili Pepper, passed away the day after Christmas. We adopted him knowing he was old and had a heart murmur. We had him ten years with no health problems. Just before Thanksgiving he developed a cough. I know thats not good. He suffered for less than a day. Im suffering every day missing my little chihuahua.
😢😢😢
I lost my sweet kitty Annikah three days ago and I know how hard it is. Rip dear Chili Pepper.💖
Rest in peace, little Chili Pepper
I’m sorry to hear about Betty. I know she meant the world to Scott. I remember the episode of Vet on a Hill where Betty was hurt and Scott was ready to overturn the world if it meant that he could help her.
My heart goes out to your I lost my beloved gretta17 years. It's been a year and I can't think about her without crying to this day. God bless you. God bless your work. Dawnene
Oh beloved Betty. This must have been so hard and emotional for u. 😢
I love the new show, Dr Scott! I was missing you. You are an amazing vet. I was so sorry to hear that Betty had passed....I thought she was so sweet....
Hi Dr Scott. I enjoy watching your videos. You come across as a really loving caring Vet with a brilliant bed side manner. The love between our fur babies & us is beyond words, I lost my wonderful little Henry just before Christmas he was a chihuahua/ yorkie a rescue dog . we had 7 glorious years together I still cry I miss him so much. & he was so poorly but my lovely Vet made his passing so peaceful. Thankyou for your videos & God Bless you.
Scott I am deeply sorry for the loss of your beloved Betty but I know he is watching over you from heaven and I am sure he loves you deeply and I know your love will forever be in your hearts.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I remember them too! I love how nostalgic Rescue Vet is for me. I remember the terrifying ordeal when Betty got hurt and the heartbreak when she passed later. It's great to see old clients with old and new animals and I'm so excited to be here for this journey.
This vet truly loves all the animals ❤ Bump for algorithm.
So sorry for your loss of Betty. She was such s special girl. Now she's in Paradise and you will be reunited one day.❤
I like that Scott is honest about removing the cancer. No vet can guarantee that they removed all the cancer and even if they did there are no guarantees that it won't come back.
Dr. Scott Miller, you are such an amazing vet and kind person. May you always be safe and blessed. Thank you so much for being you. Great job on the dog.
A beautiful episode. Lovely people, sweet dog. Heart filling
I think about my cat i lost a few years ago all the time, too. He made it to 17. He was the most loving cat I've ever had and we had such a strong bond. He would greet me every morning, every time I returned from an errand, and he'd stay with me in bed purring until I fell asleep at night. There will never be another quite like him.
I remember sweet Betty from Vet on the Hill. My sincere condolences. It's so hard to loose a soulmate. Betty will always be alive in the hearts of all the people who loved her. ❤
I understand having a soul pup. I still miss my good boi 8 years later. It's heartbreaking.
Dr. Scott, I rescued a 10-12 year old large minature Male Poodle. His front leg was amputated deeply at the shoulder, he had been hit by a car. Oliver gets around very well, he can trot when he wants too. Now, if he could just listen to what I tell him to do! I have a naughty senior Tripod Poodle, but he is super friendly. Dr. Scott, you did great on this surgery video, as always!
Royston loves Betty so much, just like Scott did with his Betty. So I guess it must have been really hard for Scott too.
Dr. Scott's Betty is probably watching over all of his work with animals.
So sorry you lost Betty, I remember her from her broken back and the trauma you experienced. Our pets are a part of our lives, and when they pass, they take a piece of us with them. So glad this Betty made it, she is a beautiful girl.
As one Aussie to another you are a good guy Scott!! I am so happy you have your new show as I have never missed one of your videos because you are a great vet and are so compassionate with your patients. ❤❤❤
Oh, Dr Scott! I'm sorry to hear that you lost your puppy, Betty. Please except my condolences
Scott, I know how much your Betty meant to you. I had a cat that I felt much the same way about. He got cancer and I lost him a few years ago. I still cry when I think about him and how much I loved him.
So glad she kept all 4 legs at her advanced age. The tumor removal gives her more time.
You are a great vet you don’t only treat them but you also love them. This video brought tears in my eyes. I already lost 4 dogs. Our last shih tzu was only 8. Now our shih tzu is already 9 and although he is in very good health I’m always scared to loose him. He is our baby. ❤❤
I understand how you feel. We lost a dog who was aged 12 to Cushing Disease while staying overnight at the vet’s. We got another Maltese/Shih Tzu X who died under the exact same circumstances at aged 12. My Dad then got a Shih Tzu puppy but Dad passed away when she was 13 months old. She became mine and when she reached 12 I was so scared that history would repeat itself again. I was so glad when she got to 13, then 14. I finally had to euthanise her a few weeks before her 17th birthday after she had a stroke. That was on 21 Feb 2020 and I miss her so much. I wish you all the best with your fur baby and hope he lives a long and good life. 💔🐾🇳🇿
If your shih tzu is 9, and healthy, he can live many more years. My mom’s dog, who was her shadow at home, passed at 16. The two remaining ,one closer to 17th birthday, and the last one, with pus on one mammary gland at 14, survived for two more years. The vet had suggested not to go through surgery to remove the breast, at her age. And because it was pus, he used local anaesthetic on that breast and removed as much pus as possible, then used an injected antibiotic. She was prescribed oral and topical antibiotic. But it kept recurring.
That was a very tough video to watch and hit home right from the start as I had a wonderful springer that I sadly lost at around the same age 😢. I miss her every day and without her I wouldn’t be here today as she saved my life by alerting my family when I had an unexpected medical emergency , such a clever girl 😢🐶❤️. It was evident from the start how emotional this case was for you and how much it meant to you and reminding you of your own beloved Betty who was such a wonderful girl and is definitely watching over her dad with absolute pride and love for everything you do for all the animals you help 💓🐶. You and your team worked so hard together to ensure the best possible outcome for this lovely Betty and to give her and her loving owners more quality time together 👏🏻❤️. I really feel for you in how hard that was to have all those thoughts and emotions about loosing Betty and wishing you could have her back as I feel the same for my gorgeous girl 💔😢. You are an amazing vet and person and your skills, experience and the compassion and dedication you show to every animal and their owners is wonderful to see ❤❤
Wow! What an amazing video! I love your new channel and I'm sorry for your loss of your Betty. I know that you are in joying Mango with all your Heart and Soul!
Heartfelt thankyou for your good soul and love or animals bless
Betty, take courage because you are a fantastic dog, enjoy your best years with the people who love you the most because you are full of love and joy, I wish you all the best and love of this m❤❤❤❤❤❤
Its always sad to loose a pet but hopefully scott still has Scully
I do ❤️🐶
It says u r a kind and careing .man and we all love u 4 it
Scott, you're an amazing vet and human being. I'll bet your betty was indeed watching over this surgery.
My grandog “Dozer “ was very much loved. He was gentle and kind . No health issues. Till one day a big lump appeared .It was an exploded spleen and had to be put down . The vet said he was born with bad spleen . My son and I still miss him so much . Don’t want to talk about shepherd mix .Hurts still so much 3 years ago 😢
Scott,you are so empathetic towards all your animals and also their owners ! I know you won’t but please don’t change
❤️🐾🇦🇺❤️🐾🇦🇺❤️🐾🇦🇺❤️🐾🇦🇺
I love your heart. Please always be so sensitive to our furry friends. Thank you for the work you do.
That was a big challenge for you and the team. Epic surgical work and extending her life with the removal of that life altering form of cancer was a gift for Betty and her family.
Never feel that you are alone in your feelings of deep loss over your own special little soul that has passed away. I still cry over my sweet Savannah Bengal Cat who died at 9 yrs after a severe stroke in 2016. She was gone in 30 mins and it was so unexpected. I too think of her every single day. She was my joy, my little shadow and best friend too! 😢❤ That was more painful than going thru my divorce. ❤
Oh Scott- you’re an awesome vet. I only wished you was here in the beautiful state of Alabama in USA. I don’t know when you lost Betty. I remember her as a gentle soul. I am sorry for your loss. Thank you for such lovely videos such as this. Take care and be blessed!!
I'm sorry for your lost
It's never easy losing a pet, especially one that was your whole world
But I know Betty is proud of you for the number of lives you save every day, and I bet she gave Betty more time for that family
Betty will always be by your side until you two meet again
Tears the whole way through. I have two heart dogs at the moment and they turn 9 this year. Dreading the day I have to say goodbye because it will literally break me into a million pieces.
I really enjoy Dr. Scott and how he helps the dog and how he helps the owners as well. He really is a good vet.
Dr Scott in all the years I have watched you on TV this is one of the times I have really felt ur heart and souls and LOVE when u talk about YOUR Betty… u r a Good Egg
The dog Betty in this video strongly resembles my new girl, Ashley. I adopted her 2 days ago. I fostered puppies for 9 years, and she was one of 2 'failures.' The resemblance is so strong that I decided to mention it.
It says your human mate and you love your best friend. ❤❤❤❤❤
You always do your best. And you have given them more time with Betty.
So glad to see a second chance for Betty and her family.
Dr Scott, some take a bit of us with them. We lost our girl at 6.25 years despite all the right tests and visits.
Cancer doesn't care how much pain it inflicts.
I lost my precious GSD, Ziva three years ago and I still grieve for her every single day. Dr. Scott explained perfectly the way I feel. Never, ever before have I felt the degree of sadness that I felt when she died. She was my girl and losing her was the most gut-wrenching sorrow.that I’ve ever gone thru. I’m so very sorry for the loss of your sweet Betty, Dr. Scott.
Scott don't be sad because Betty will always be with you and you with her will always be one thing that only you can understand a big hug from Italy Valentina ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
As always, Scott's compassion is so evident as is his love for his patients and their owners. I have watched Betty's story many times, and each time I am reminded of the loss Scott suffered as well as I and anyone who has owned a pet. Continue the great work Scott
I lost my Gadget, German Spitz Klein, 3 years ago 💔💔💔 He lived a full life to 15 years, 9 months and 23 days , and his urn is standing on table, between my husband and I, so his stil.here, and forever in our hearts ❤❤❤
I can sympathize with your loss. I lost my furr-baby cat last October. I was blessed by being her Mommy for 18 years. My heart is still broken❤.
Crying already at five minutes, there is just something so special about spaniels
Yes, i agree. They speak to m6 soul. Though I love most dogs, spaniels are just so special.❤
I still think of a collie that was in my life.i miss her every day
Loved vet on the hill too, miss your team from there…❤❤❤
Hi Doc, I’m elderly I have enjoyed watching you through the years. I probably will not be writing you messages as I watch you on my television on uTube. I will watch as much as I can ❤ you good luck with your new adventure ❤🧑🏼🦳🌵👍🏼👏🏼😸
Thank you Dr.Scott for everything that you do. You give your whole heart and love to all your patients. I am so sorry to hear hearabout the passing of your Betty.
Dogs have a special way of working their ways into our hearts and souls. Thirteen years later, I still miss my wonderful GSD each and every day. She’s still and always very missed.
I hope sweet Betty does very well.
Aww, my dog is called Betty too! So is my grandparents' neighbours' dog actually
Your videos fill the start of my day with good feelings, thanks. Love your new channel 🐶🐱🐮🐷🐾
Scott your story of your Betty is why your such a terrific vet your video when Betty had surgery is why you empathise so much with other owners
Happy too se that Betty is better and that the cancer isn't back.
To have that learned skill of being a vet, and the natural love for animals and your friends, is a huge gift, a wonderful combination which gives you the joy of returning animals to their owners, ready to rumble again after illness and trauma, so that they spread the love again in their families at home. Even with its attendant painful times, your job is a great gift. Thank you for doing it with such love.
That was an amazing surgery and a beautiful dog made comfortable and happy. Rest In Peace beautiful Betty Dr. Scott's doggie.💖💖💖
Hey Dr Scott, I just wanted to say how much I absolutely love your new channel.
The genuine love and care you give your patients and their owners is second to none.
I also commend you for letting us into a bit of your heart each episode, I think that's incredibly brave yet challenging of you. I can't wait to watch many more episodes on your new chanel.
Keep being brilliant mate, lots of love and hugs of support to you.
I had wondered what happened to Betty, since I hadn't seen her in any videos. I am sorry for your loss. She was a wonderful member of your family. RIP, Betty!
Dr. Scott u r so real and not afraid to show it. I so love that about u! I cry every time I now see old videos of ur Betty and how she was ur first love and how much u cared for her, especially during the time of her spinal injury! Much love to u and ur family from Louisville Kentucky USA!❤
Feel for these lovely owners....I have lost three rescue dogs in the last 5 years...Can't tell you how awful this has been...Thinking of another rescue but can't go through that again so thinking of getting a younger dog instead of middle aged....But the oldies pull on my heartstrings 😢
I admire the very difficult cases you take on.
Hi Dr Scott I'm so sorry to hear that you lost Betty I remember when she hurt her back when you were at the park playing with her and the trauma that y'all went through and how dedicated you were to get her through that. thank you for helping this Betty and her family I'm sure your Betty was there watching over her can't wait to watch another video Have a wonderful day and thank you for all that you do for animals God bless❤❤❤❤
I'm so sorry for your loss Dr Scott... it's so nice to see you helping others and showing us the emotions you show it genuine ❤️ much love from Oregon
I remember when your Betty hurt her back and how sad and worried you were. I’m so sorry that she passed! How long ago did she pass?
I lost my Lexi a week ago, and i can't stop crying. She was 12😢
So sorry for your loss of your Betty. Scott, you have a very loving special heart towards animals and I am so glad you are on a new adventure that you have wanted for a while. You spoke of wanting to move into the country and work with the animals in the country side. Looking forward to your new videos. ❤
I was blessed to have a heart dog who went to the rainbow bridge 3 years ago
The grief is profound and carves your heart out. To all the pet owners out there, know that you are not alone 😢
Dr. Scott, I admire your dedication as a great veterinarian. Your caring demeanor towards your patients and to the owners. If I lived in your area, I'd want you to be my vet, for my kitty, Bing! I live in the US and also have a caring vet for my kitty. I worry about veterinarians these days with all the pressures of the job. They say that the suicide rate in veterinarians is very high. Mental health is very important in your field. Taking days off to do something fun with the family does help with this. The fact that you have changed your routine to the new channel of Rescue Vet is good. As the old saying goes, “Change is good!” I'm so sorry for the loss of your dog, Betty. If only a beloved pet could live as long as our lifetime. I lost my dear kitty 2 years ago, Dusty Blue. He had kidney failure, and on the way to the Animal ER, he died in my arms. He was 16 years old. I miss him every day!!! My other cat, Bing, misses him, too!
I remember this couple. I always watched your videos from Vet On The Hill. Thank you for saving this dog's life. 🙏💖🙏
So hard to lose a pet as there part of your family i lost my beloved fur daughter poppy 20 years old still miss her every day
I am glad to see that I am not the only one who has trouble getting over my dog’s passing. Jake was a golden and he was my 🩷dog. I had such a bond with him and when cancer took him I was devastated. Even though I got two more dogs two months after he died I just could not get over it. That was almost ten years ago and I still miss him. Now I have two almost ten year old dogs and I hope their lives don’t end like that.
Such a great video. Reminds me of the loss of my ❤ dog Cody. He had a brain tumor. I lost him in January of 2020 and still miss him every single day 😢
he is in very good health
Watching you made me happy and sad at the same time. It is just so amazing that the person you are genuinely loves animals. I wish that i could find a vet like you. I live in Louisville, Kentucky (USA), and i have been a couple of different clinics here, and none show that kindness. My heart dog was bleeding from her bottom. i called my vet and told them i was 5 min away, their 1st response was they close in 15 min, i would have pay the overtime pay for the technician if i came there or just go ahead and take her to the emergency vet clinic. Those are the types of vets we have here, only a business, not for the love of animals.😢 I am sorry you lost your heart, Betty. Just remember she is watching over you and will meet again someday.❤❤
What could be more wonderful than having a job that allows you to fulfill you soul's purpose?
I wish I had chosen a career in vetrinary care.😪
Found your new Chanel the other day and had to subscribe.
I'm in tears hearing about Betty. As others, we watched you go thru her major back surgery and the therapy your gave her daily. Stay true to your heart.
