Our first pet was accidentally euthanized without the anesthetic, it was quite cruel.
The vet was so overwhelmed by our crying (we were teenagers and loudly sobbing over this rabbit, he got confused and forgot the first shot) and injected him with the, for lack of a better word, poison.
The rabbit loudly inhaled through his nose (like a gasp) and started to have trouble breathing, he was shaking and kicking and my dad realized what happened, but didn't want to upset us.
So he whispered to the vet; 'You forgot the first shot. Well...it's too late now' and simply stroked the rabbit and tried to make his last moments durable. It took a few minutes, we were looking away during that, I just remember a bit of strange, heavy breathing, followed by nasal noises 'Kcchhk...knnnggkk...kngggk' and then he was dead.
My dad quickly put him in a better position and we petted him and cried together. He did phone the vetenarian afterwards, who apologized and I remember we got a discount (probably because one of the injections wasn't even used..) on the whole thing.
...probably a weird thing to remember, that last detail, but were Dutch, so maybe that kinda puts it back in perspective xD
