[quote=Anonymous]So sorry about your dog.  No help on the pain meds, but a few notes about the second question. I don;t have specific recommendations for a vet, although I remember that there was a big article in the Washington post a couple of years ago about vets that do this in your home, so I would try a search on their website.  Even if none of those vets are in Fairfax, they should be able to put you in contact with someone who is, although I would imagine they do a fair amount of travel within the area.

Just as a note, I totally agree about the last traumatic visit to the vet being avoided, I had a dog pass away of natural causes in my home and that may be somewhat traumatic for you for the next few months.  I think I would still have someone come to me (would rather have myself with trauma than the last few moments of my dog's life be traumatic for her), but just be prepared to have that be a very hard place to be in your home for a while.

Also, I might find a new vet for next dog, forcing you and the dog to do those extra tests, when you have decided (understandably) not to treat, seems cruel to both you and the dog.  [/quote]
