How does pentobarbital work for euthanasia?

Euthanasia thorough Sodium Pentobarbital is cerebral death in conjunction with respiratory arrest and circulatory collapse. Cerebral death occurs prior to cessation of cardiac activity. When administered intravenously, pentobarbital sodium produces rapid anesthetic action. There is a smooth and rapid onset of unconsciousness.

As the solution is injected, the patient loses consciousness and within minutes the heart and lungs stop functioning. Since the pet or human is not conscious, they do not feel anything. It is the same effect with the oral solution, powder and pills.

What if I miss a dose?

This does not apply. Since pentobarbital is often used only when needed, you may not be on a dosing schedule. If you are on a schedule, use the missed dose as soon as you remember. Skip the missed dose if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose. Do not use extra medicine to make up for the missed dose.
