Dog Euthanasia
#20
In your place, I guess if he is in pain and ready to go I would think seriously about making him as comfortable as possible and taking him in. None of us on this earth love the idea of dying on a table in a sterile room, but many many people as wells as animal family do pass in this way. We have to believe that at the time of death it is the passage that matters and not having everything in the perfect setting. Ultimately, having you there to love him is surely what matters. OK, I know that is not the solution you want, but surely you can give him some pain pills that will make him oblivious to the bumpy roads. It is death and loss; it isn't going to be wonderful and perfect no matter what. If he is opiated he will not be in fear of the strange place.

I mean, the worst thing you could do with pain pills is accidentally kill him, and death is the goal here, so why not? Surely you won't be arrested for medicating your dog.
I am not at all insensitive to what you want, but you have tried, and asked, and learned that the vets need to do this in their office. It seems to me it's better for your friend to have euthanasia done by a medical professional than to what amounts to a home experiment.

Obviously it's going to be tough either way. (Speaking as someone who broke down and sobbed when my son's rat that we only had for six months died, I am right up there with people who can turn into a basket case over a pet death.) I honestly haven't found home pet death to be any easier. It SOUNDS better but I wonder if that's more that you are able to imagine it being better. In reality, your friend will not be as present in the operating room as you are. The vet will be compassionate, I am sure.

I wish for you that he passes on by himself, while sleeping, I really do, but I hate to see you in such additional turmoil trying to get this to happen in just the right way. Take care!
