Euthanizing dogs by pumping air into their veins?
Is this a method of killing a dog? As I understand, a needle is
inserted in a vein, and air is pumped in, by an aquarium pump perhaps. The heart stops. Do vets use this method? Is it painless for the dog? -- (||) Nehmo (||) |

Do vets use this method? Is it painless for the dog? ..............Never heard of it as a method of euthanasia. It's an air embolism. The heart stops because the blood flow is stopped as the air is stuck in the small blood vessels in the lungs. California says it's not an acceptable method of euthansia for horses: http://www.vetmed.ucdavis.edu/vetext...TH-HORSES.HTML University of Missouri: http://oar.missouri.edu/oar/insideoa...umaneACU12.htm *Air embolism - inhumane and unacceptable except in the anesthetized animal;* Rutgers considers it acceptable only in anesthetized animals: http://las.rutgers.edu/manual/ch10.htm#I Most of the sites I read consider it unacceptable except in anesthetized animals. And if you have anesthetic available an overdose of that would work just as well. Unless you don't have enough and it's some kind of emergency and you're out in the boonies. buglady take out the dog before replying |

Euthanizing dogs by pumping air into their veins?
"Knut J Bjuland" a écrit dans le message de news:
... Why bother is is much easier to use pentorbital and better and Medetomidin and Butorphanol for premeditation. You have to use at least 10 l air to kill a horse. It is unethical and it much better to use an lethal injection after premeditation. It as least what I am taught to use with euthanasia on dogs. cut Quoting all the bullsh*t from the mor*n doesn't help... |
