scipio Posted August 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 Since posting on the last thread about it, Lucy has been pts. She is the only one who had a sedative ... He listened carefully to me, said why he was giving the sedative (which I had not thought of until then), I am sorry to hear about Lucy Can I ask what reasons did the vet give for giving a sedative? (My fella was a greyhound too.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddyboy Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 I can't remember his exact words, but it was along the lines of it just being to relax her so she was not stressed by the injection in her arm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coinsky Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 I asked the vet about a sedative for both of mine but in each case it was felt that it wasn't necessary (and i don't remember but i think he said it can collapse the veins a bit so make the final one harder)? But both were very peaceful and fast without it, Starsky just lay with his head in my arms and did a deep breath and went, and Coin was chomping mars bar and literally as he swallowed the last bit i could tell that his eyes could no longer see and he had gone.
