High concentrations of potassium ions can cause heart conduction block and weakened contractility. , and finally inhibits the myocardium, causing sudden cardiac arrest and death. This method only shows a very short period of muscle stiffness throughout the body and then becomes flaccid and dead.

2. Oral sleeping pills: Oral sleeping pills are taken to put the sick pet to sleep, and then a central anesthetic with respiratory depression is injected.

What is the public’s attitude towards euthanasia of pets?

1. Opposing attitude: There is an old saying in China that "it is better to die than to live in vain". After all, pets are lives, and we humans have no right to deprive them of their lives! For some disabled sick dogs and cats, what owners should do is try their best to save them instead of ending their lives hastily. Many Chinese people who believe in Buddhism have a belief that God has the virtue of good life. Even if a dying patient is dying, we can only try to help him extend his life. How can we help him end his life early! The same goes for pets.

3. Neutral attitude: Hasty euthanasia of pets is irresponsible for life, and it is unbearable for us to let pets die in extreme pain. In line with a responsible attitude towards life, the choice of euthanasia for pets should be cautious.
