Drug to put animal to sleep?

Answer 1

In general, no - most veterinarians use injectable euthanasia because it is more easily controlled and faster. The risk with a pill is that the dose is not sufficient to euthanize the animal rapidly, resulting in the animal suffering a long death or possibly not dying at all.

If you feel your dog should be humanely euthanized, you can call your veterinarian's office and ask what the cost of euthanasia is - the price can vary so call around. You can also check with your local animal shelter or humane organization - let them know this is a medical euthanasia (if that is accurate) rather than for your convenience and they may be able to provide free or low-cost euthanasia.

Answer 2

Not really. Most OTC drugs are not intended for animals and could most likely cause simple liver and kidney failure; resulting in untold pain and prolonged suffering.
You have two choices. Either take the animal to the vet or just let him die, suffering, at home.
OTC human drugs will just make it worse.

Answer 3

High dose of barbiturates like pentobarbital is commonly used to kill an animal. Gases such as isoflurane and sevoflurane and even carbon dioxide are also used to kill.

Answer 4

No - dogs are euthanized by veterinarians using an injected solution. However, there are pills that a dog may eat that could cause it to die, but it would be a painful and nasty death.

Answer 5

No, only Licenced Vets may perform euthanizing, but some vets will come out to you, rather than bringing the dog to the office.
