Best Answer

Most vets use an injection of Sodium Pentobarbital in a vein. The Humane Society of the US is one of the agencies trying to get all municipal shelters to use Pentobarbital.

How do you stop a dog from killing cats?

About the only way is to keep the dog away from goats. If your dog has already had a meal of goat chances are would be more than happy to do the same again if given the chance. Eating goat would be a normal instinct for a dog just as eating chickens or mice would be. Some dogs have a stronger connection to this natural prey instinct than others and the only thing we can do is to keep the dog from getting into situations where it is tempted.

If it seems that the fish is attempting to swim upwards your fish has a swim bladder problem. Your fish will die from this eventually. Pet stores may well attempt to sell you something to fix this. IMO you would be wasting your money. I would destroy/euthanase the fish.
