It was a fine morning and I started my day as usual while dealing with various patients like cows, sheep, goats and dogs etc. The same very day, there had been a dog that was to be put into sleep (because of it's incurable sickness and painful condition).
On that day I was the only vet present in my clinic, so I had to do this job alone. Although I had been dealing in veterinary medicine for many years, still I had never done this before. I did all the preparations and procedures necessary, but finally when I tried to give the intravenous injection through already fitted canula, I was not able to push the plunger of 10 ml syringe because it became too heavy and my fingers became so weak that I could not manage to push it and inject medicine.
Finally I decided not to do it.
I did not even start the IV infusion drip.
I withdrew the IV canula and fittings.
I told my weakness to the staff and owner.
Till today this one remains my first and last effort to put an animal into sleep.
