Yes, I have just read that chapter too and it was horrific that the doctors could consider dragging out the agony the right thing to do rather than give her a narcotic.

I agree with you Hamlet: although it isn't as bad as that any more, thank goodness, there is still the feeling that life is so sacrosanct that it must be preserved as long as possible, even when the sufferer is begging for release. Sometimes we treat our pets far more kindly.
