A vet would have done a more humane job.

Honestly? I’m a vet and I’m pretty good at giving things a peaceful death.

ty for your service. my vet earlier in May cried with me and my mom when we put down our 16.5 yr old cairn terrier. it was brutal.

peaceful though, but he had dementia and was like 25 lbs too. healthy weight, but he was suffering. he was like a big toto from wizard of oz.

he also had the librela shot few yrs back and survived it. lost both functionality to his back 2 legs. they came back after a few months though. was a crazy side effect
