Beuthanasia-d Special | Merck Sharp & Dohme Corp.
Dosage: Dogs, 1 mL for each 10 pounds of body weight.
Administration: Intravenous injection is preferred. Intracardiac injection may be made when intravenous injection is impractical, as in a very small dog or in a comatose dog with impaired vascular functions. Good injection skill is necessary for intracardiac injection.
The calculated dose should be given in a single bolus injection.
For intravenous injection, a needle of sufficient gauge to ensure intravenous placement of the entire dose should be used. The use of a Luer-Lok® syringe is recommended to prevent accidental exposure due to needle/syringe separation.
