I guess I have to add something to this theme as well. In fact, especially
sick animals are harder to put down. As their metabolism is usually very
slow, blood pressure is low, respiration is poor, it can take a lot longer
and a lot of struggle for a sick animal before it dies. Just something to
think of. If you are not sure about what you are doing, please visit a vet!
