My question would be ... why NOT give the dog a sedative first? What can it hurt?

My girl Neke struggle a bit during her euthanasia. We were planning to have the vets come to us (she wasn't always comfortable at the vets office) but she went downhill faster than expected and they couldn't get away.

I wish we had thought of giving her a sedative first.

When Riggs time gets closer I will go pick up a sedative to give him at home before the vet comes over.
