Only the veterinary surgeon (technician) really does it. Veterinary nurses (assistants) are allowed, behind the scenes, at a vet's discretion (I believe), but as a client, a vet would do the job for you.

Veterinarian's are only allowed to euthanize and animal. The drug used to put an animal down is controlled and requires a vet's signature for usage.

Vet nurse and vets only qualified to preform euthanasia, if the vet is present and gives permission, and assistant is supervised then the assistant may carry out the pts. there are different methods used to put different animals to sleep also.

The Vet and the tech can help, but the right amount has to be given as to the size of the animal. That is how it is in our state. I'm sorry if you had to experience this with one of your pets.

When I had to have this done my vet did it herself. It is a law in our state that only a licened vet can do it.
