In general, most veterinarians in private practice have emotional defenses against becoming personally attached to their patients, so they typically don't get sad when a sick animal comes in to the office. Veterinarians may feel empathy for the animal as well as a deep desire to treat the illness and help the animal feel better, but for the most part veterinarians respond to animal illness with a logical and rational approach rather than an emotional approach.
