I had a friend in Oregon who was in the same position as you with the added complication of not owning an automobile; even if her very old, very big dog had been able to get into a car or truck. She worked with an herbalist who made up a tincture which she gave him one eyedropper at a time until he quit breathing. I do not know all the ingredients or proportions but I know it used valerian and skullcap along with other extracts which had muscle relaxant and sedative properties. The first time she tried she overestimated the potency and her dog slept very deeply but did not pass on. The next day she made sure to have enough on hand and he died peacefully with his head in her lap.
My heart goes out to you, we had a dog whose heart and soul kept going after every other part of her was failing. She looked like a skeleton at the end and a light breeze would almost blow her over, but it was really hard to take the decision to end her life in our own hands, even when it was the right thing to do.
