mixed Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 I think we need to have our 12 yr old dog euthanized, she has lost the use of her back legs, is weak and suffering. We have not spoken to our local vet about this, they have not been very frank with their diagnosis, so I'm not sure if they would do it. I have heard that vets in LOS don't like to do this. Does anyone have any experience with this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arthurwait Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Wanted to do it with a stray cat whose head and eye got infected and rotten for lack of a better diagnosise. He couldn't eat and was slowly and painfully dying. We tried about 4 different vets. All refused to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoorSucker Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Try to find a non Buddhist vet, they have no problems with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isanbirder Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 There's another thread about this about four threads down on the page. I know two vets in Chiangmai who will do it. One is the Small Animal Hospital, who will want to use your cat/dog as a demonstration to students. The other is a private vet, whose name I will pm anyone who pms me. I do not want to put it on here for obvious reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooked Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 A cat is easy to kill, a smack with a shovel will do it. Quick. I have had to do this a few times, and it is not for every one I am sure and difficult if it has been a life long companion. I never killed a dog though, maybe ask a Chinese guy? You would have to watch and maybe intervene, but I imagine that blood letting would be the most painless way to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mixed Posted October 30, 2012 Author Share Posted October 30, 2012 Thanks for the replies, I should have noticed the other thread. I think we have found a vet, however it will require a trip to Bkk. Now we have to decide. She has lost the use of her back legs due to displacia/arthritis. She is medicated for pain relief, which has increased her appetite, however she is constipated. I have been taking her swimming daily, she seems to be able to swim less with each day, but still likes to be in the water. She will not improve, but does not seem to be in severe pain.
