Like one of my favorite professors said in vet school...

"Some people should just own a toaster oven!".     Think about it.

As for always giving a tranquilizer, we don't feel it's necessary all
of the time in the hospital where I work...it really depends on the
situation and the specific medical reasons we're euthanizing the
animal.  If it's an animal in renal or kidney failure and good luck
finding any sort of blood pressure in the veins, we'll give them a
tranq, then place an IV catheter.  Otherwise, there's plenty of ways
to keep the pet relaxed and let them be aware of their owner's
presence while it's being done.

As with any medical situation...it depends!
