This hurts worse every time. Please be kind to your veterinarians. This post says it much better than I can right now.

This past week, Dr. Galen Heyne took his own life, leaving behind a wife and 2 VERY small children, whom he loved deeply. He battled the demons that we all deal with in veterinary medicine, and unfortunately lost that battle.

This is why - Not One More Vet, Inc, exists. Our profession is 2-3x more likely to die by su***de than the general population, and we are dying left and right. Many who manage to survive their battle end up burning out and leave the profession entirely. These two things are the biggest reasons our profession is facing an unprecedented staffing crisis, why we no longer can offer on-call or after hours services, why we can no longer take on new patients or new clients — because we are dying and leaving in droves.

Please be kind and compassionate to the people who give their all to a profession that most of us have wanted to do since we were the age of Galen’s children, and often for little pay or reward. Please consider financially helping his devastated, struggling family, and keep them in your prayers:

"Finding ways, no matter how small, to embrace people’s differences, similarities and perspectives is how we build a bridge to unifying ourselves not just in the profession, but as humanity. By lifting each other up we can encourage those to share their voice and perspective. If we listen, another person’s path may teach us about humanity, kindness, and perseverance despite our individual struggles."

Our mission: To advance the cause of veterinary medicine and to better the lives of those touched by it.

It is with great sadness and the utmost regret that we announce the passing of our cherished friend and colleague, Dr. Zeb King.

Dr. King joined Taylor Crossing Animal Hospital in 2005 upon graduating from Auburn University College of Veterinary Medicine. During his time here, he contributed endlessly to ensure that our clients received the very best in veterinary care and established himself as a highly respected leader amongst the team.

We ask that you please keep Dr. King’s family and friends in your thoughts and prayers as well as his extended family here at Taylor Crossing Animal Hospital. For those of you that knew Dr. King and called him a friend or trusted him with your pet’s care, please know that you are also in our thoughts. We will miss him tremendously, but we will forever be grateful for his friendship and the expert care he provided to our hospital, our pet parents, and their beloved pets.

We also ask that you please respect his family’s privacy during this difficult time, and when we have information to share regarding services or memorials for Dr. King, we will be sure to share them with you all.
