how much is it to put a pet rat down without him realizing your doing that. We want him put to sleep before he is put down. Its bad enough that he is full of cancer.

The first question we would ask is if you have any doubts as to whether this is the right course of action, or if there may be other options to consider. It sounds like there may not be many options in your case, but we want to be certain you are certain to avoid making irreversible decisions we regret. If you want to consult with a veterinarian about options the charge for the consultation is $45.50. From there the charge for euthanasia of a rodent is an additional $45, which includes 2 stage euthanasia. So, the total would be $90.50 if you want to consult with a veterinarian, or only $45.00 if you have no doubts. These charges also include taking care of your pet's remains, if you don't want ashes back. If you want ashes back that is additional. 2 stage euthanasia involves an initial injection of medications to anesthetize him, followed by the 2nd stage to gently stop his heart and breathing.

Oh I'm so sorry, it's so tough having to let go of a beloved pet. I'm not sure what the cost is, although I do think it is affordable. Def something you'll have to call on; sorry this isn't super helpful but when we had to have a dog put down, the vet and techs were so great. She was given a med to make her sleep before the rest happened. I hope something I've said helps you in some way

I'm so sorry you're going through this! 😭 I had two of my ratties euthanized here several years ago (different times - one for a tumor and another for a head tilt) but I don't remember what the cost was. I remember it being pretty affordable though, especially because we buried them ourselves so we didn't have to pay for that part. There's really no way for you to do it without the rattie knowing that something is happening and sometimes they're not very happy about it and can be kind of noisy and distressed. The vet is willing to take the rattie back and do it separately so you don't have to witness it, but I always stayed with them so I could comfort them as they passed. I think that was much better because they were with someone they knew. A Caring Vet is wonderful and will let you sit in one of the exam rooms and have some privacy after giving your rattie the shot. They can also examine your rattie first and help you determine if they're ready or not.
