Cаse #1 CICI: CHF Euthаnаsia Cici is a 16-year-оld spayed female Yоrkshire Terrier whо has been diagnosed with congestive heart failure (CHF). Her condition has worsened over the past two weeks, with symptoms including a honking cough, cyanosis (blue tongue), black tarry stools, lack of appetite, and reluctance to move. Her current medications are no longer effective, and the veterinarian has determined that her quality of life has significantly declined. After a final physical exam, the veterinarian recommends euthanasia to prevent further suffering. As the veterinary technician, you are asked to review the euthanasia estimate and discuss the euthanasia procedure with the owner, who has never experienced this process before. The veterinarian asks you to explain what will happen step by step—from placing an IV catheter, to administering the euthanasia solution, to the physical changes the owner may observe during and after the procedure.
