It should be illegal to euthanize 5 dogs in an hour and a half. Work has got to quit giving me a stack of pulls at the end of the shift holy hell
girl what. ive got tons of geese that cant fly they just eat corn and chill. fuck one of them was a feral i found that had clearly been attacked by a cat or fox sometime in the past whos wing had healed wrong. they just cut it off and the guys been fine because he can get food and warmth on the farm. wtf
(Don't call me girl)
I'm assuming you're talking about the gosling with the angel wing deformity?
It's perfectly reasonable to rehab domestic ducks and geese with those sort of problems. They don't need to fly or defend themselves. That's not the case for a wild goose, particularly a Canada goose.
Unless the species is at risk, reputable wildlife rescue groups don't take injured or deformed animals out of the wild and place them into captivity. The standard is usually 'If the animal cannot thrive in the wild after treatment, it will be humanely euthanised.' This means birds that can't fly, predators that can't hunt, and so on.
That gosling wasn't a pet with an owner choosing to put it down rather than getting vet care for an injury, it was a wild animal with a deformity that could never be repaired so it could never survive in the wild.
This is why I hate those people with 'rescue' foxes or raccoons. Wild animals aren't pets and should never be treated like they are.
The ask about cervical dislocation made me recall a question I've been pondering: what do you think are the best methods of performing an emergency euthanasia to animals for people who have no prior experience in the matter? I've understood hitting the head hard is good for small critters like most birds and rodents (+ reptiles?) but what about cats, dogs or even bigger creatures? Assuming there's no gun, you are hours away from cities and the animal is suffering a horribly painful slow death.
The best bet is calling the sherriff’s office for the location you are in and having them come out and shoot the animal. Doing anything else can be ineffective or illegal. For example, in my county it is illegal to kill a companion animal without permission from the owner (even if it’s a stray and has no owner) unless a veterinarian has examined the animal and deemed that euthanasia is best (and then the vet does it, not you). In my state, it is illegal to kill sick or injured wildlife unless you are a law enforcement officer or have a special permit to treat wildlife as a vet. So getting someone involved that knows the laws for your area (and also has access to an appropriate weapon if that is indeed the best course of action) is best.

Police in Australia are supposedly meant to have little cards in their car that tell them how/where to shoot an animal to end its suffering.
Severing the juggular veins and carotid arteries or femoral arteries is likely adequate in many species when you have literally no alternative, but is, to put it mildly, a bloody mess.

Had a cat come in today panting as hard as a dog with a fever of 109.1f which is the highest temp anyone in the room has seen. We got the temp down but there were neurological issues after. All his nails were worn down, some bloody. The Dr thinks he was stuck somewhere and overheated before he was found. He was euthanized.
I hope I can get it out of my head soon, it's eating me alive right now. My brain does this thing where it puts me in their place and suffering.
An adopted dog had to come back in because his URI was getting worse. He spent a day on site until an oxygen cage opened up for him at the hospital. He spent a few days there, made no improvement and crashed last night. He was humanely euthanized. I've been crying.
The adoptor said that we didn't care about this dog and that we just wanted him to die. Right, we spent $1000s trying to get him healthy again including sending him to one of the best vet hospitals here for further treatment.
But no, we just want dogs to die.
There's another dog in the exact same situation, just got sent to the hospital. I'm worried for him.
I'm worried for all dogs. Between the rampant pneumovirus and flu I don't need people that don't know shit tell me I don't fucking care.
Some horrible person has been backyard breeding Belgian malinois here. I've been wondering why are there so many of them lately!!! (They're always surrendered for behavior issues.) But the police were involved at his place and an officer got bit so now there's 2 beautiful dogs with dangerous behavior up for needing a rabies sample. Like rabies isn't the issue, the breeder selling high energy work dogs as pets is. I have yet to hear of a dog testing positive for rabies in my time here.
Anyway end rant.
An owner request euthanasia, senior cat with obscene amount of fluid in the abdomen.
Syringe of mystery fluid included.
Half dead kitten season is here. First it was moms and babies now it's 1-2 month olds on their own looking like they're on deaths door step. I hate it and there's about 4 more months of this. Peak season in August-ish is the maggot boom. Heat, flies and sickly kittens is a recipe for disaster.
Spay and neuter and keep your damn cats inside!
