Yes, they are costly to come to the house, at least in my area - but I figured it was a one time cost - and well worth it if I can get her in the house in time. I'm going to ask the vet tonight when she goes in to check the veins in her leg, or at least take a quick peek, to see if she thinks there may be an issue with the IV catheter for a home visit. I don't know if I could handle a shot in the heart, but I guess it was necessary in your case, and better to be certain.We had the vet come to our house to put our 13 year old darling Sophie to sleep in 2002. The vet administered the first injection but her heart was still beating and the vet then had to inject into her heart. She was actually brain dead after the first one but the vet didn't want to take any chances. I did find it very upsetting at the time but realised there wasn't much choice in the matter. If I had loads of spare money I would prefer the vet to come to my house as taking my fur babies to that final vet visit is traumatic for both me and my animals. It's not always possible though.
And Feralvir, thanks for the good vibes and positive energy!
Yea, a hard topic to discuss, but one most of us have to face at one time or another unfortunately.
