When many pet friends see their dogs having an incurable disease, they think of euthanizing the dog when they see their dog's painful expressions and moans. Pet friends have different opinions on this method. What are the methods of euthanizing pets? Can these methods really make the dog die without pain?
How to euthanize pets?
1. Injection of potassium chloride: Injection with 10% potassium chloride injection at 0.3 to 0.5 ml per kilogram of body weight, causing instant hyperkalemia. High concentration of potassium ions can cause heart conduction block, weaken contraction force, and finally inhibit the myocardium, causing the heart to suddenly stop and die. This method only shows that the muscles of the whole body are soft and die after a very short period of stiffness.
2. Oral sleeping pills: Oral sleeping pills will make the sick pet sleep, and then inject central anesthetics with respiratory depression. The anesthetics here usually refer to some powerful sedative drugs that can cause suffocation. Injection of strong anesthetics inhibits the respiratory system of the sick pet, and eventually stops breathing and dies.
3. Injection of coagulant: Let the sick pet sleep with anesthetic, and then inject coagulant to block the veins. The mechanism of action of coagulants is mainly the coagulation factor acting on the blood proteins of the animal body, causing blood clots to coagulate, form thrombosis, block blood vessels, block blood flow, and cause the death of sick pets.
What are the attitudes of citizens to euthanize pets?
1. Opposition attitude: There is an old Chinese saying that "It is better to live without dying well." Pets are also a life, and we humans have no right to deprive them of their lives! For some sick dogs and sick cats with disabilities, what the owner should do is to try his best to save them instead of ending their lives in a hurry. Many Chinese who believe in Buddhism have a thought that God has the virtue of living. Even a dying patient can only help him continue his life as much as possible. How can he help him end his life early? The same is true for pets.
2. Support attitude: It is true that any creature has the right to survive, but you have no way to know if the pet chooses it. Rather than seeing it in pain, it is better to let it end, perhaps it is also a relief for it! It is the last love for the pet to be freed from the pain.
3. Neutral attitude: It is irresponsible to life to euthanize pets, and it is hard for us to let pets die in extreme pain. With a responsible attitude towards life, be cautious in choosing euthanasia for pets.
