Woogiebear,

I made the mistake of asking the vet to give my cat the "pre shot" to help calm him before he had to be euthanized. He was put in his crate after that for about 15 minutes before the vet could do the "final thing". When they took him out of his crate, my cat was gasping for air(because he was suffering from heart failure also)and he was rushed in then to be euthanized. I will always have guilt because my cat was suffering in his crate trying to breathe and we did not know that - I still have terrible feelings for doing that to him - but I had thought initially it would help him.

I would never do that again.

That is a very sad story about your Milkdud, I am sorry you had to go through that.
