In mice, injection of 100 µL of a 10:1 (mg:mg) solution of ketamine:xylazine resulted in death within 3 to 5 sec- onds after completion of the injection.
Sometimes barbituates aren't available.

I don't need you linking the avma guidelines on euthanasia. I'm very familiar with it.
You can find dozens of creative ways to euthanize animals according to the guidelines. The reality is 99.99 percent of animals euthanized by vets are given blue or pink juice.

That's weird because the colour of the liquid used to euthanize each one of my 3 dogs was a dark green colour.
Just because you don't think it is doesn't make it so.

Given how you're linking ".au" sites I assume you aren't in North America.
So let me specify. 99.99 percent of pets in North America are euthanized with blue or pink juice.

So it is different colours in different parts of the world and maybe different parts of the world dont have access to phenobarbitone for euthanasia.
Now back to the original article don't fuck with xylazine orr ketamine the recreational dose and the fatal dose are very close together and are dependant on body weight.
