Anyone know what code is for....

a cat is not a dog. might possibly be a few anatomical differences.

Shovel the bullshit somewhere else. You can put a dog down in seconds, too.

whatever you say, dr. dinscal.

btw, how many dogs have you put down "in seconds" using this method?

Usually within six to twelve seconds after the solution is injected the pet will take a slightly deeper breath, then grow weak and finally lapse into what looks like a deep sleep. (This state gives rise to the questionable euphemism "to put to sleep".) The pet, although completely unconscious, may continue to take a few more breaths before all movement ceases. I have found that the older and sicker the pet the longer this unconscious breathing state goes on.

obviously this vet needs further training as a 17 year old dog can be put down "in seconds".

sin,

some fukker on the interweb that had a cat put down once

Our sheltie went very quickly, but I had left my stopwatch at the house.

Much quicker than her cancer would have taken.

Well, shelties are small. It stands to reason that a small dog or a cat will go quicker as the trip from the vein to the heart is shorter. This fact seems to be lost on Dr Dinslittle. Apparently it's all about vet competence. Things like anatomy are just convenient excuses.

I 'spose a competent vet would have just buried that syringe in her heart to get us out of there 30 seconds quicker.
