I know nothing about that method.I don't have any clove oil. I read somewhere that baking soda is humane. Would that actually be humane or cruel?
Clove oil is a humane way to euthanise him. You just mix some with warm water, add it to a container with water from his tank (use a container you can bin afterwards, you don't want clove oil near your tanks or equipment). Then move him into that container with the clove oil in it. Swimming in the clove oil mixture will gradually sedate him, and then you add in more clove oil/warm water to overdose him and put him down. It's the same sort of method that a vet would use to put down a mammal, sedation then overdose, so they don't suffer. I have used this method, and it does work and seems peaceful.Is there any way to humanely euthanize him? I know he's suffering and not going to make it but I can't bear to see him thrashing around in pain.
See if you can go get some clove oil. You can always call your nearest Walgreens or whatever chemists are available there and ask if they have clove oil in stock. It's not expensive, and it won't hurt to have it on hand in case something like this happens again.Poor little guppy. I wish he didn't have to go. He is breathing really slowly now.
