I don't know anything about horses only pain. I believe the injection is the best way to go. I have had major heart stopping and brain surgeries. Before a surgery I was given a sedative so that there was a calm and light feeling and going to sleep was very pleasant. This is the way for your companion to go. There will be no pain and no fear. Bless your sweet companion and may she have the peace she deserves after so many loyal years.<br><br>Post edited by: luvparrots, at: 2009/09/30 02:49
