| - It was time to euthanize my dog of 13 years. I have never done this before. I watched a video which showed the process peaceful Melanie Lowernce DMV came to my home i signed papers, she charged $350.00. She gave my dog a sedative . after 10 minutes she stated it was time. She went to the right arm which was weak. She Shaved her arm tried 4 Times fishing for a vein. Unsuccessful . Tried the next arm after 3 tries asked he associate to try, 3 more times, then they tried the back leg, i don't remember how many time. I said i can call a pediatric nic nurse to start the iv, i guarantee they will get a vein the first stick, i was answered no it was against the law for someone else to start an IV. so she went in the juglar vein After 2 attempts My dog had a hemotoma the size of a half dollar on her neck I stated enough. then the vet, she said i got it. not realizing that she got positive blood return from the hematoma ( blood clot in her neck) She had to have went thru the jugular vein on one of the sticks to have her start bleeding under the skin. Then she gave the medication to euthanize her. THIS WAS HORRIBLE, and heart wrenching, My dog suffered another 10 minutes, coughing, choking, Nodding her head multiple times Kicking, Twisting her head. Tears coming from her eyes. This the vet said was normal. I realized i don't think she did get the jugular vein, she got positive blood return from the large hematoma . i believe my dog suffered and died from the suffocation from the leakage from the jugular vein and the pressure choked her to death. Thats why it took so long. i don't recommend this vet or her associate to euthanize any pet. Prisoners die more humanly.
