The euth drug took 2 minutes to work before she laid down, and she kept on breathing for 20-30 minutes, and 3 more doses of the euth juice. The vet was listning to her heart (beating), and administered more of the drug. I sat at her head, sobbing, and asking her to let go. The vet said she probably was in advanced organ failure (She had been losing weight at an alarming rate for a few days) and thus her body probably didnt distribute the drug to the whole body? (Hazy on the details, I was not in a good state). So there, a case of an euth not gone perfectly well.ETA: Picture of the horse shortly before euth: http://farm4.static.flick...6750265_d9cb802cd0_z.jpg She was NOT emaciated or anything, but gone from plump and well-covered to not-so-plump.
