Well... In this thread we're discussing it about animals who have had RI for a very long time without improving. Everyone who has animals with RI should of course try the help the animal as best as possible first, long before thinking about putting the animal down. And yes, euthanizing isn't something none of us wants to read about but is in fact a very important alternative when it comes to the animals welfare - it's worse keeping an animal alive if it is in big pain, than euthanize it.

The freezer-part grosses me out. My "man" said if we should put this girl down, we should do it outside with an axe - seems like a very "nice" way to do it, quick and not much chance to do it wrong... But again, I really don't want to se my "father in law" chopping off my snakes head but it's one of the gentle way to do it...
