In the next 10 days or so, I'm going to need to euthanize my dog. I do not want to use a vet.
The dogs "happy place" is in the front seat of my truck. She is accustomed to spending hours on end there while I'm at a jobsite. These days, at her advanced age, she immediately falls asleep on the seat.
My thought is to run CO2 into the cab. From what I've read, CO2 has an anesthetic effect at low concentrations, then puts the animal to sleep and death occurs. It all happens in a matter of minutes. It's hot here, so I may need to run the truck A/C, which will introduce some fresh air into the cab, but I don't believe it will be enough to negate the CO2.
Anyone ever done this? Can you think of a reason why I shouldn't do it this way? A better method maybe?
