I have just formally complained about mine and Caspians treatment at the vets yesterday and am horrified to learn that what I suspected all along was infact true....he should have been aneathetised with gas before the lethal injection was given into his abdomen.
I also raised my concerns at being asked to sign a form to dispose of his body whilst he was still dying, that he expressed pain during the 3 minutes it took him to lose consciousness, that his medical record had not been consulted prior to the appointment and that the vet was not present to confirm death had taken place leaving me waiting with his body for ages until I was sure he had gone.
I feel awful for placing Rob in the position that he now has to raise the issue with his boss but whilst it is too late for me and Caspian, I hope other owners will be afforded the respect we were denied in future.
