Is euthanasia really as peaceful as one might think?

Hello,

Is it true that if you put your dog or horse down, for example, it's really as peaceful as most people think? I mean, a horse, for example, doesn't lie down voluntarily; it just crashes violently to the ground and eventually suffocates. Or cardiac arrest is supposed to be pretty painful, too. I don't know, that's why I'm asking.

Thank you in advance

So we had rats and one had to be slept in, she immediately started squeaking as I took her off me and gave the veterinarian. When I waited outside, I heard her squeak all the time. I think it comes to the animal and that it is usually peaceful. My rat was just afraid because she was in a new environment with a strange woman and didn’t want to leave me because I was the only accustomed person.

So when Mauzi died, it was quite peaceful. First she was stunned and then fell asleep in my arms and then came the syringe that ended.

How far she still got after the anaesthesia is hard to say, but I kept her in the arm for the sake of safety until the doctor has determined the cardiac arrest. So hope it wasn’t that bad for her. However, considering how she was smiling in the last days before, I think she was happy anyway that she was finally redeemed. Because even if animals can’t really talk, but look at a very old animal or a injured animal. Their pain is clearly visible. So, or so, just like in humans, death is at some point much more painless than life, and with that one can say good conscience, even if they do something, the pain it continues to hesitate is so much greater that the process of spraying no longer falls into weight.

In addition, it is much harder for us as humans to let our supporters go anyway. Animals usually know when their end comes, so they don’t eat anymore.

The animals are only placed in an anesthesia, so they get nothing from all the others.

No one cares for a heart-rest in an animal that is conscious.

As usual, I can’t tell you. My horror ride was the sleeping of a horse, the best buddy of my wallach. He got it full, got himself strong against the sedation. If it has risen, the balance could of course not hold and banged with the head against the wall.. At some point, it didn’t stick on the legs.
He’s got what’s going on, and he’s been fighting.

I hope this is not the usual practice.

tja… the veterinarian who broke this should be beaten with a dachlatte understood.

a horse that is still in a position to stand should be killed in free. or at least in the reithalle.

it is tinnef to have to drag the dead horse back into the free. then it stops for me.

The horse was sloped in the bottom of the open pit. Don’t make it any better.

I’d always prefer the bolt.

In horses I don’t know, but in dogs and cats it’s peaceful, they get an anesthesia before, sleep in your arm and get the fatal syringe. Even then you still have it in your arm (is very important for you, the animal gets nothing more).

usually already, an animal can cramp in anesthesia after the administration of T61, but since it is in anesthesia, it does not get anything. It can also hurt if you put a muskular anesthesia. If there is an animal that is afraid of a veterinarian, it does not like to touch, e.g. if anaesthesia is given over a vein, this is very stressful .

Well, the alternative is bolt shot… but if that doesn’t make an absolute expert (e.g. an experienced slaughterer), it’s getting really bad.

Otherwise, the horses are really “slept” before the actual killing syringe and lie down themselves.

The animals are natified. So there are two sprites, one for the anesthesia and one that kills the animal.

yes. only if the horse has anxious, the adrenalin shoots so high that even the sedation often takes minutes to work or needs to be injected.

I wish you won’t see this in the next 10 years.

But what is the alternative?

The horse is unconscious when it hits. It doesn’t notice.

Sleeping in always happens in two steps: first make unconscious, then kill.

We’re not talking about sleep here. We’re talking about narcosis.

making this unconscious can be a real problem with the horse and also a longer, very unsightly process.

above all, the veterinarian is not allowed to piek himself with a double horse.

1mg of the sedating agent is fatal for an adult human and there is no antidote effective in humans – and there would also be no possibility to administer it quickly enough.

the less fear the horse has, the better.

You’re not being cut up. You wait until the anesthesia is final.

it depends on whether the animal is still alive.

lyanea has described one end…

with us in the stall was redeemed a couple weeks ago. he knew why the veterinarian came. this horse, after the sedation, simply almost laid down by itself and was completely relaxed, and in that it looked after the heart stood still as if it were sleeping.

But there is really good preparation, I think. that recognizes that the animal no longer wants to live, is that one. then a familiar person at his side and finally a good veterinarian with a lot of experience – who, according to the possibility, was the already known, treating veterinarian. And rest… and if it is a big animal, a meadow.

I say the horse I have described is in great and died without fear.

in my view, this step would have had to be gone at least 4 weeks more.

I also know of horses that have fought.

my pony was shot with the bolt. also of someone who had great experience.

you really have to wait until the animal is ready. in the case of a death, it is unfortunately not possible to determine this and often also unfortunately not who redeems the animal.
