What happens once Dr. Erwin arrives?
Once Dr. Erwin arrives, she will answer any last minute questions you may have about the procedure. She will also need you to sign a form giving her permission to perform Euthanasia and stating that your pet has not bitten anybody in the past 2 weeks. You can also make payment arrangements at this time if you have not done so already during the initial consult. Once these logistical items are taken care of and you are ready, Dr. Erwin will give your pet a sedative shot either beneath the skin or in a vein. This will help to relax your pet and alleviate any unnecessary stress or pain. This injection is no more painful than a typical vaccination and your pet will be deeply sedated within 5-10 minutes. During this time, you may continue to comfort and talk to your pet. You can also share stories with friends and family members about your pet’s life. Once your pet is sleeping soundly and you have said your final goodbyes, Dr. Erwin will inject a euthanasia solution that will stop the heart
