Can I use an overdose of Ultram (given by the vet) to euthanize my elderly cat so that he may die in peace at?
Posted By Admin on February 12, 2012
My cat is dying of kidney failure and I do not want to put him through the process of going to have the vet do it; I have done this with 3 other cats and was not happy with the process at all. I believe my cats died in trama. I want this one to go peacefully at home. If I give him a significant dose, won’t he just go to sleep without pain. I don’t want to do anything to hurt him. Please help!
Chosen Answer:
When they give your cat euthanasia, it’s two injections that happen, one stops the heart and the other which they give beforehand puts them asleep, so there is no trauma. If you want to see trauma, try and play vet yourself. Go see the vet and have the cat put to sleep y him, there is no trauma – you are not qualified to overdose your cat, which would certainly have a traumatic time since it can be a slow and very painful death.
