Lethal dose of morphine for a cat
When the time comes and I have to euthanize my cat, I would like to do
it in the kindest way. I think this would be a nice meal of tuna juice and tuna with some morphine in the tuna juice. I have been told that 5 mg of morphine should be enough and that my cat would just fall asleep after eating her last meal. She wouldn't be traumatized at all and her last thoughts would be how nice the tuna tasted and now just a long nap until her next life. My question is whether 5 mg of morphine is about right. I don't want to traumatize the cat by having someone give her a needle or by having to take her to the vet (she hates the vet). I know that they don't give morphine, they give potassium chloride or something like that and I think morphine may be more expensive but it's a nicer way to go. |
