We asked if they could give him something to calm him and they said they could only put him under and that giving him valium would not help. When we mentioned that other vet we ha gone to gave a calming injection before euthanasia, the vet tech got defensive and snippy. They finally took him in the back to insert a catheter after failing to find his vein, and the vet tech had to insert it because the vet could not do it.
