Vet Capable Of Putting An Old Dog Down

[sandyfromoz]

Hello all in wet and soggy Samui!

I moved here just over 14 months ago, and brought my dogs with me. Sadly, my biggest dog King, and Alaskan Malamute X Siberian Husky has reached the end of his life-he cannot walk anymore and refuses to eat anything-and believe me I have tried everything! I have enquired at the Samui Animal Hospital and the Samui Animal Clinic, and although he was treated at the former, I cannot get a vet to "put him to sleep" and end his suffering. For some reason the vets won't do it, and I cannot let him suffer anymore. I have heard that there is a vet in Lamai that will come to your house and do it for you-but both the places mentioned cannot give me a telephone number, and only very vague directions about the location. Does anyone on here know of this person?? It is killing me to see such a big and majestic dog suffer like this-not to mention a great friend to me for 11 years. Any help would be great... Thanks so much.

its to do with the bhuddist ethic of not taking a life.

The vet in Lamai is dr Joe tel 08 62663020. A few months ago he has put one of our Jackrussels to sleep. He's very capable and will also visit your house.

Sorry to hear about your dog, it's really hard to see them suffer. Good luck and all the best.

Thanks heaps mitmig-Dr Joe came to my house and did exactly what I asked of him-my old friend just went to sleep with his head in my lap. Thanks for your help. Hardest thing I have ever had to do, but now he is in no more pain and at rest. Thanks again.

[Who, me ?]

I really feel for you. Really sorry about that. But as you said, he is better now....

[nod]

My sympathies to you. A very difficult thing to do. I hope you feel a little better soon.

I'm glad dr Joe has helped to make an end of his suffering. It's the last thing you could do for King in return of all the love you got from him, but indeed very hard to make that last decision. I lost Jacky about 5 months ago and not a day goes by that I don't think of him. I know what you're going through and I wish you all the best.

my dog got really messed up in road accident, obviously going to die in great pain, neither vet in Chaweng would put her down. they let her die slowly and painfully during the course of the night. i arranged that night to borrow a gun to do it myself, but when i went to vets she had died and they just passed her back in a bin liner. Glad to hear there is one vet on the island with common sence.
