Schlegel Farms, Hagerstown Indiana | Thought I'd ask on the livestock board hoping that maybe someone here would know more.
Wife and I have a dog that was diagnosed with bone cancer about two months ago. Been a very loyal/loving family pet for the past nine years.
Figured when the "time came" would just have the vet come out and put him to sleep (vet will come to the house). Then; a neighbor told me that he was present when one of his dogs was put down and that the dog didn't just got to sleep, that it appeared to be in a lot of distress............when it was over he had wished he had shot the dog.
I was under the impression that they gave a shot ...dog went to sleep peacefully and that was it. What is the truth? What is the easiest, quickest, and the least trauma for the dog?
........ TIA ..................................................Mark |
