(22,474 posts)got so old and sick that it was the most humane thing I could do and when the vet gave my dog the shot, (I thought he was just giving him a "relax shot" , my dog howled in pain and was all stiff like for the last seconds of his life. That was how he left this earth and after the trauma of it all I just wanted to euthanize the vet. I paid well over $100 for this and it was about 10 years ago. I've never stepped foot into that animal hospital again.
So I can believe that some dogs go out suffering needlessly and maybe this shelter does not have the money for the "relax" drug that was supposed to be given to my dog first. And maybe they are not trained to give the dog a drug straight into their veins, (which that vet didn't do with my dog with Maurice). Other dogs that I have had to put down were shaved on their leg and the drug was administered right into the vein and they just went quickly off to sleep.
Maybe he was exaggerating for effect in this piece but a dog does loose its bowel control after death. It you pick them up or put any pressure on their stomachs it will just come out. I found this out after taking Maurice home and was going to bury him.
