Euthanasia

[Minkness]

Well, asking your vet their technique and what drugs they use helps. Like if they just use 1 injection, they are probably just using the drug that stops their heart, which IS painful because it's literally inducing a heart attack. Most vets use 2 drugs. The first one is a seditive that sooths and calms the animal as well as blocks pain. The same stuff used before a surgery. They usually use a higher dose than needed for that, then introduce the drug that slows and stops the heart. This ensures that the animal doesn't wake up from the initial seditive. If a vet just sticks them and stops their heart, that is when they go through 'the death throws' (aka, kicking and screaming) and is NOT very humane =/
