Euthasol vet.
Active substance
ATC code
Species
Dogs, cats, rodents, rabbits, cattle, sheep, goats, horses and mink.
Indications
Euthanasia
Dose to be administered and administration route
A dose of 140mg/kg, equivalent to 0.35ml/kg, is considered sufficient for all indicated routes of administration.
The intravenous route of administration should be the route of choice and adequate sedation should be applied if deemed necessary by the veterinary surgeon. For horses and cattle premedication is mandatory.
When intravenous administration is difficult, and only following deep sedation or anaesthesia, the product may be administered via the intracardiac route.
Alternatively, for small animals only, administration via the intraperitoneal route could be used, but only following appropriate sedation.
The intravenous injection in companion animals should be carried out with a continuous injection rate until unconsciousness occurs.
In horses and cattle, pentobarbital should be injected rapidly.
The stopper should not be punctured more than 20 times.
Adverse reactions
Minor muscle twitching may occur after injection.
Death may be delayed if the injection is administered perivascularly or into organs/tissues with low capacity for absorption. Barbiturates can be irritating when administered perivascularly.
Pentobarbital sodium has the ability to cause induction excitement. Premedication/sedation significantly reduces the risk of experiencing induction excitement.
Very occasionally one or a few gasping respirations occur after cardiac arrest. At this stage the animal is already clinically dead.
