I always swore I wouldn’t allow my faithful friend to suffer. If he was dying of old age, I would have let him go naturally. But when he couldn’t find the water bowl with his tongue despite lapping at it, when the weight fell off of him in just days..75 lbs doen to 40 lbs, when i couldn’t seem to hand feed him enough pedialyte and he wouldn’t take solids, when he walked on the tops of his feet and his eye went askew, and when my poor old puppy wanted to sleep with me as usual, but ended up slinking away in the night..and all of this happened over the course of a week or two, I knew he needed to be put down.
I never, ever want to see a dog euthanized the way this one was. He wasn’t euthanized, he was executed.
If I ever have to euthanise an animal again, I would rather hit the streets for heroin mixed with fentenal and shoot him up myself.
The vet who did my dog gave him something to relax him. Well’ why then didn’t she give him enough to kill him?
Then she gave something to paralyze him so basically, he struggled to breath. You could see the panic and fear in his eyes and it took him some time to die.
I’ve seen animals euthanized before and it was nothing like what my poor dog went through.
Folks, find out what the process is before you need it. Beware however’ they make it sound so easy and peaceful which is why I gave you details as to what was promised and what was delivered.
I had put down another animal and they gave one shot...in seconds that animal was gone, no suffering’ to useless attempts to struggle...just droop and gone in seconds.
What my poor friend endured was horrible and traumatic for everyone concerned. They charged me 106.00 and 6 bux of that was the meds they used. This was about 7 years ago. I never, ever wanted another pet of any kind, ever again. But it didn’t work out that way.
I’m so sorry for what you went through. The Vet from hell.
The shot to relax an animal before euthanizing them is standard. The shot to stop them breathing sounds like pure evil, there is NO reason any vet should do that.
My vet put down was less than 2 seconds. The shot went in, legs kicked out and she was done. I had dug a grave, the vet said don’t tell anyone I did it. I called a vet to come because I didn’t know if this was it or if something reasonable could be done.
