PRAYING FOR PETS
"Assuming that there's something to this, that prayer has a
statistically significant effect on the outcome, are vets under
any obligation (moral, not legal) to pray for their patients?
Or at least to suggest it? Would not suggesting it be akin to
not performing a test, or withholding a non-urgent medication?
OTOH, if the vet did suggest this and the pet owner was an
atheist, would he/she get offended?" NDRGARYL
