Dr. Stephen Claxton-Oldfield and Ms. Sara MacEachern from Mount Allison University in Sackville, New Brunswick would like to invite you to take part in our online survey examining veterinarians’ experiences with unusual end-of-life phenomena (EOLP) in animals – extraordinary things that can happen at or around the time of an animal’s death (e.g., shapes seen leaving the body, a radiant glow surrounding the body, electrical equipment in the hospital/clinic malfunctioning, changes in room temperature). 

Although there is some research to suggest that there may be parallels between animal and human EOLP, to the best of our knowledge, there are no published studies looking at EOLP in animals from the perspective of veterinarians. Therefore, this study will contribute to the literature on EOLP. 

We would greatly appreciate your participation in our survey. The survey will take approximately 15 minutes to complete. The survey, which is hosted on Lime Survey, is voluntary. If you decide to terminate the survey early, your results will be discarded.
