Euthanasia requires more skill than just giving an injection. Practitioners need to determine the best approach given the patient’s signalment and the team’s experience. There are 5 common injection sites for use in most companion animals: IV, IC, IP, IR, IH. The goal is to reach for the best one given the situation. Our goal during this session is to review these 5 injection types, with time to review sedation protocols.  Worried about those geriatric patients and poor blood pressures?  Not anymore!
