Can you humanely euthanize a dog at home?

Question

I bought a puppy last weekend and he is really sick. the prognosis is terrible even with a blood transfusion. i called the lady i bought the puppy from and she won't take him back until saturday (because i live 4 hours away) but the little guy will most definitely die before then. he screams out in pain and he's having seizure like episodes. basically he's in so much pain at this very moment it would be more humane to shoot him. the only thing keeping him alive is the medicine and tube feedings. he's been like this for days, and the vet said he will not get better. any suggestions on what to do at home or how to put the little trooper at ease til he passes...and also how not to prolong his suffering.

should i stop giving him the meds?

SHOOTING WAS A FIGURE OF SPEECH. THE QUESTION SAID "HUMANELY EUTHANIZE" ALL OF YOU WHO THINK I'M GOING TO PULL HIS LITTLE LIMBS OFF OR SOMETHING CAN JUST SAVE IT!

Answer 1

I had the same problem but with a grown dog...It's so sad. The vet asks way too much for euthanizations. My mum took our dog to our friend who said he would be able to shoot him. It was much easier for us. He took him for a walk, talked to him, and shot him while they were walking.

Try find someone who wouldn't feel too bad about doing this. If you live in a city it might be hard, but it is much easier for yourself, and you don't have to pay way too much.

Many people love the idea of owning a dog but one thing that they have to keep in mind often times, is that the dog needs to be trained. While the pet may look heart-breakingly cute when it's in a shelter or at the pound, picking out the dog is only the first part of the relationship between dog owner and the animal. Many people don't understand that they have to put time and effort into socializing the dog.

An unsocialized dog will intimidate others, tear up the home, and will create an environment that can become so bad that the it will have to be returned. Many times when dogs have to be returned to shelters or to other resources, it will end up euthanized, which is very heartbreaking. All of this can be spared if a person learns the various techniques in order to socialize the dog.

One thing that they have to understand is that the he wants to be told what to do. It's in the canine nature to follow a leader. The dog will be more than willing to obey the leadership of its master. Here's a look at some common techniques that are used in dog training:

"Dog Whispering"

This is a technique that has been around for a while, but gained national notoriety over the last 10 years. Some people might hear this term and wonder how in the world whispering to a dog can train it! Whispering isn't meant to be taken literally in this case. As trainers have shown, whispering is a term that refers to connecting with a being or an entity on a very deep and almost spiritual level. When it comes to dog training techniques, dog whispering involves careful observation of the dog's behavior and actions.

It literally entails getting inside the mind and the behavior system of the canine. When a person uses dog whispering techniques, they interact with the dog on the canine level. Again, one the most common mistakes that people make is treating the dog like a small human being.

"Reward Training"

Reward training is very simple and it's one of the older tricks that works. This is a simple method of training the dog by positive reinforcement. Once he does what it is told to do, it receives a treat. How this works is that the dog owner must entice the dog towards the treat. Once the canine develops awareness for the treat, it develops a strong desire for it. When the desire for it is extremely strong, the dog owner pulls back. Then the dog receives a command and when the dog obeys the command, it receives the treat. The object is to make the dog associate a treat with the command.

"Clicker Training"

Other dog training techniques include one that is similar to reward training, which is called clicker training. How this works is that the clicker is incorporated to get the dog's attention. The clicker is clicked as a form of communication with the dog. It learns that there is a command or reward associated in conjunction with the clicker. Many people claim that this is fun, and they actually make a game with the dog by using the clicker for their dog training tasks.

"Ultrasonic Whistle"

Last, a relatively new form of dog training technique is called the ultrasonic whistle. This works because the ultrasonic sound is only heard by the dog. When the owner is trying to communicate a command, or stop the dog from barking, they will blow on their whistle when they want to communicate a command to the dog. The benefit of this is that the humans can't hear this noise, but the dog can hear it, and they will learn to associate the sound with a command.

Dog training techniques aren't hard to incorporate, but they are something that absolutely must be incorporated from the time a dog owner brings their new dog home. No matter how old or how young the dog is, they will need training. Once they are trained properly, they will be a wonderful addition to one's family.

Answer 3

Where are you all getting $25 to have a dog euthanized at the vet? My vet is over $80.

Answer 4

Take him to the vet first thing in the morning and see if you can get him some good pain medicine. If you can't, you might need to just have him put to sleep. If you want to do something tonight, there should be an emergency vet open somewhere near you. But remember, an emergency vet will charge at least 2-3 times what a regular vet will.

The most humane way is to take it to the vet to be euthanized with a shot. However, you want to do it at home. Not recommended, but up to you. If you have a gun you can do that. However, be warned, if you shoot in a wrong place, your dog will die a slow painful death. But in the correct place, it can die instantly, pain free. This is why I suggest going to the vet.

Have the emergency vet service do it or call any Vet and get them to do it humanely. Even if you have to drive him somewhere, most vets out of decency will euthanize the poor thing. Put it on your credit card or ask to be billed.

Answer 9

Hey,
Yes you can, a vet can come out and give your dog an injection to put it to sleep quickly, painlessly and it's legal and the best way for any dog to go under those kinds of conditions.

Answer 10

A dog should be trained on how to eat, walk with you, not to bark, potty training and sleep on its place etc. You can teach anything to your puppy, dogs get trained easily with some good instructions. If you want some good training tips visit https://tinyurl.im/9xqmB

If properly trained, they should also understand whistle and gesture equivalents for all the relevant commands, e.g. short whistle or finger raised sit, long whistle or flat hand lay down, and so on.

It's important that they also get gestures and whistles as voice may not be sufficient over long distances and under certain circumstances.

Answer 11

some of you people are being rude. if ya don't mind me asking, how old is your mom?? my grandpa was in this same situation some years ago. his dog was really old and in pain. because of my grandpa's own age and mental state he didn't realize how much pain his dog was in and was refusing to have the dog put down. my family tried everything to get him to let them take the dog to the vet but he wouldn't let them. i think the dog ended up die on her own. they tried to get the vet to give them the shot so they can put her down but the VET HAS TO DO IT. there is no way to do anything at home, unless you have a gun and shoot her or slit her throat with a knife. sorry. that's just how it is. unless you have a vet who's make a late night visit to your house and put the dog down so it looks like the dog died in his sleep.
