Our lovely dog is being put to sleep tomorrow. He has been under investigation for a few weeks after suddenly losing a lot of power to his hind legs. He hasnt improved despite medication and i actually feel this should have been done a week ago but DH disagreed. Hes worse this morning and DH has reluctantly agreed its what needs to he done.
He called the vet today to see if she could come out to our home. Very naively we assumed she could administer an injection and he would go peacefully. She says he needs to come in but as shes on call today shes on her own. She explained re sedation and IV drip and from previous investigations over the past few weeks where Ddog has became aggressive she would prefer another vet present. She stressed she CAN do it today if hes in serious pain but ideally wait until tomorrow. As far as we can tell hes not in pain, just unable to walk or toilet. Its horrific watching him try. She suggested upping the tramadol in the meantime
Sorry this is longer then i meant it to be. Dh is in bits. He will be taking him tomorrow. Can anyone tell me so I can tell him what to expect? Will it be traumatic for Ddog? Will it hurt him? Will it be peaceful? How long will it take? Cant believe its hapoening
If you're worried about your pet's health, please speak to a vet or qualified professional.
