Squish, You should insist on a house call and a sedation, it is your dog, your money and they can suck it up, remind them that more then 60% of people who have their dog PTS by a vet rarely go back to the same vet. And that they should make it the best experience it they mean to keep your business. I know it sounds horrible talking this way but vets are business people as well and are not likely to purposelessly use this as a chance to lose yours.
