Putting animals to sleep
13 Answers
I had my rabbit put to sleep a few years ago but every now and again I think do they really put them to sleep. I worry that the vet might just have given an anaesthetic and my rabbit could have woken up a few days later underground

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.If it is necessary to have an animal put to sleep, the owner should be with the animal for the procedure. Once the injection is given, the animal gently slips into a deep sleep, and within a few seconds, the heart stops beating. That is the moment that the animal leaves this life. The vet listens with a stethoscope to the heart to enable him/her to pronounce the death. You can rest assured that once the heart has stopped there is no possibility of the animal waking up again.
Ignoring all the idiots and thanks to all the non idiots
I was only 14/15 when rabbit was put to sleep and no wasn't in same room, said goodbye to him and then they took him into another room and then they gave him back wrapped in a blanket in a box and we buried him in the garden.
It was actually a serious question because I didn't think there was an actual drug that could kill you but if they just fall to sleep and then the heart stops beating thats ok. I'm glad. :-) I love my bunny x
