RE: [RC] Euthansia - Susan E. Garlinghouse, D.V.M.Good grief, I wasn't paying close attention, but I thought this thread was talking about euthanasia when a vet *wasn't* available. By all means, using a vet with the right drugs is a lot less traumatic and more humane for all concerned.

I'm with you - when it is time for one of my friends to go I will call the vet. When I had to put my old friend of 14 years - my German Shorthair Pointer - down some years back, I had prepared the resting place and helped her walk out to it. The vet walked along with me. It was quick and painless and it was good to have someone there with me at that moment. May the New Year bring Peace Truman Tom Sites wrote: Is it my imagination or is RC getting morbid? Granted these things need to be addressed (Do you have a current and signed Living Will and an addendum to your will listing personal possessions and who you'd like to take care of yer critters and how you would like to be buried? Probably most don't). I guess i'm just getting soft, but with the bullet, i usually missed the first time and caused more suffering and the cut artery has way too much blood floundering. I've found it better for my 3 yo Afghan to call the Vet and put her down when her cancer came. I've been the one to hold horses for a Vet when it was the time, and thats the best $100 i could ever spend for a friend. When they get the injection there is a quick response and you have to be careful you're not intertwined w/ the halter, and they drop dead quick. Some are better at killing, tho i never was.
