Poor Dory had a hard time letting go today. The euthanasia injection took an hour to work.
It's so hard when they aren't able to pass away peacefully and quickly. Most of the time it's because of the medicine not staying in the blood stream. If it leaks out of the blood vessel and is absorbed into the surrounding tissue, it takes longer for the medicine to be absorbed and stop the heart.
The good news is that while I was waiting I got to watch a sugar glider surgery and x-rays on a duck.
