On a side note. I am lucky enough to live close enough to drive my chicken to the state vet. For the price of 20 dollars they will euthanize it and do a very through necropsy. I asked how they do it. They said in a co2 box.
Really, I just euthanized my old girl. It was actually a blessing to be able to do it rather than let her die at home.
It is part of loving a dog. It was sad but but watching her waste away when she couldn’t do anything on her own was heartbreaking. But I am probably not youraverage pet owner.
