Q: can i put down my dog myself if i cant afford to have a vet do it
my dog is sick and i cant afford to pay for treatment or to put them down can i end there suffering myself
A: I wish I saw your question sooner. A Kansas attorney who has knowledge in animal/dog law should answer, but your question remains open for a month. You may have already taken action by now. Animal cruelty-related legalities aside, this is a terrible approach - if done improperly, it could cause unnecessary misery and anguish for an animal. Veterinary offices and shelters have proper training to do this. It isn't a do-it-yourself procedure. Additionally, some towns or cities have mercy services that do this for free. Shelters or rescue organizations may not be able to accept a sick animal, but that is something they might be able to answer if you approached them as another possibility. I'm sorry for the suffering this has caused you, but I hope you will be able to deal with your dog humanely and compassionately. Good luck
