    Are you supposed to be injecting pentobarbital subcutaneously? Pretty sure I remember it being administered as an IV

      The picture is of a vaccination though, not euthanasia. It’s a random stock image chosen by someone who doesn’t have any practical medical knowledge.

      This would be a more apt image…

      But, yeah barbituates are only IV or IC (intracardial; mainly for small animals like hamsters)
