How to Humanely Euthanize a Goldfish Using Clove Oil Only

- in this video, i demonstrate how i believe to be the most humane way to euthanize a goldfish. i hope this demonstration is educational to you, should the need arise.
FAQ: please read before commenting:
Q: why did the fish need to be euthanized?
A: the fish suffered external tumors all his life which were removed during several procedures. he then suffered an internal tumor which grew to press on his brain, causing him to lose swimming control, appetite, sight and other senses.
Q: why don't you just cut his head off, bash his head flat or throw him in boiling/ice water?
A: there are several ways to end the life of a fish, my choices are humane to the fish which are also peaceful to the aquarist.
Q: why not flush the fish?
A: because an ill/dying/dead fish or a decomposing fish release toxins/bacteria/parasites into the water. the correct method is to either bury the remains or dispose of them in the garbage for collection. polluting our waterways or drinking water is irresponsible.

You know it’s exam season when you’re watching this when you don’t even have a fish.

Don’t blame the video owner for TH-cam’s policies.
If only the little dude could comprehend that a bunch of humans are mourning his death via TH-cam.
I’m a Marine Biologist in training. People don’t understand how loving a pet fish can be. Their also extremely intelligent and trainable. I ADMIRE your compassion for fish. 🐠🐟 This warms my heart. Rest In Peace dear Leo. ♥️
I understand I have fish they try to kiss me everyday I walk past them
100% True, Brother. Humanity is too stupid to understand this, it lives by stereotypes that have nothing to do with reality. Let them stay with their smelly cats.

What?
U can tell she cares about her fish
666th
Yeah, her voice changed at the end. Like when your sad & trying not to cry type of voice. It made me really sad just to hear her voice.
Blue Wind No she doesn't. If she cared about her fish she wouldn't have let it suffer this long!
Heidi Sherbet Did you not read the description? She gave him procedures and all sorts of stuff. She tried to save him.
last I recall I was looking up foundation make-up reviews because I just bought a new one today, how did I get here ?? I don't know, but I do know this was a very humane way to allow the fish to pass. thank you for taking care of him while he was alive.
Wow - many of you people need to stop posting nonsense. Clearly Leon couldn't swim anymore and he had no quality of life. This video is very helpful to people who actually care about a life they devoted responsibility to. Its inhumane and irresponsible to allow any animal in your care to die without dignity or to die painfully and slowly. Its really that simple.
Very true.
it was pretty obvious to me that he was suffering fish DO NOT swim like that.
+iloveowls90 he was suffering from his previous issues not the way she put him to sleep
yeah sorry thats what i meant!
Onlyoneme Who said we don't care about these things? Again, just another person ranting and raving for no reason..
I worked at an aquarium selling live tropical and marine fish for a long time and it’s really heart warming knowing people actually have compassion for fish enough to do this. I always would recommend this in situations where life was no longer sustainable for the animal. They go in their sleep, hopefully no pain or suffering. Just permanent resting
Its different where i live, people don't even want to spay cats here saying its wrong but its ok to throw away the kitten. smh. They just usually just wait for the fish to die on its own. No one cares this much bout fish especially.
Honestly when my fish are sick I put them outside and wacth it suffocate

This is in no way causing the fish any suffering. Anyone saying so is crazy. I’ve studied vet tech for awhile and the clove oil isn’t harming just sedating. This woman actually cares about her fish. Most people just let the fish die on its own saying it’s just a fish etc. etc. this woman is actually taking the time to ensure her fish doesn’t have to suffer. You don’t see many people actually care like this. Never see anyone humanly euthanize a fish until now.
Yukine TheBlessedVessel How can you tell a fish isn’t suffering? Also, why is clove oil sedating for a fish?
If the fish was suffering, it would struggle a bit when the clove oil is added. When fish are in pain or being poisoned they tend to become frantic and start swimming, flailing, or even jump (hence why fish in tanks that have a build up of ammonia often jump out of the tank.
RIP buddy, you were loved. Have a great time with your fishy friends in heaven.
Agreed
Fish don’t have souls
Fishes will be reincarnated as a human being
@@vilenationgaming exactly like human lmao sthu
@@0sram123 I totally agree
I heard that clove oil is commonly used as fish anesthetic when they undergo surgery. So essentially what she's doing is giving the little guy an anesthetic overdose. It's similar to what's done to cats and dogs - pentobarbital (Euthanyl) is commonly used and and it's just a anesthetic drug with a very small safety range.
Anesthesia is merely keeping something living close to death's door without opening that door.
FlowerEmblem But fish don't feel pain
Magicdolphin30 It's under debate. I will not firmly take either side, but it has been stated that fish appear to not feel pain the way humans do, but that can be interpreted in different ways - that they don't feel pain entirely, or comparing them anatomically to humans is like comparing apples to oranges. At the very least, though, they can be stressed or discomforted, which is why she's choosing to end this one's life.
And? They still feel stressed and ALL Pets should be handled AND "released" with as little stress as possible. Fish are Pets too, so they should have the same level of dignity in releasing them as a Cat or a Dog.
He was going to die anyway, and who said he was in pain, he was sleeping
pentobarbital is quite a bit different to clove oil FFS.
poor thing was screaming silently for 10 minutes before succouring to chemical poisoning.
a small nail into his brain would be far more humane (but that would mean she'd actually have to FEEL his death.)
This is so sad. I thought this was gonna be a horrible video when I clicked on it but just the fact that you perform operations on your FISH (never heard of anyone doing that) shows you care a lot. Lots of respect to you.
operations are more common than you think. people do it to save fish from an illness, or it could be cosmetic surgery like cutting fins down to reset them so that theyll grow back properly.
Clorox Bleach I got beef wit u
i have performed both these surgeries to goldfish. i have also educated people all over the world via skype video on how to successfully sedate, procedure and wake their fish as well as some aftercare.
williejames huff look it up all species can get tumors...
I know that the Vancouver Aquarium has done fish surgery on their rockfish for egg binding (eggs stuck in the body, birds can get it too). They've also placed a false eye in another fish because its one eye was missing and other fish were attacking it because it showed vulnerability on that side. They're really big on ocean conservation and rescue, too, so fish surgery is a part of that. Medical research facilities have also used zebrafish in their studies and do surgery on those, too.
This popped up in my recommended for no reason and I know I’m crying because I feel like I love Leo the fish

Why am I here? I don't have a goldfish, have never had a goldfish, it's the middle of the night, and I have a 10 page paper due in just over a day. Absolutely no disrespect to the maker of this video, but I am surprised that people euthanize goldfish; I thought they die if you look at them funny. At least he didn't suffer; it hurts to lose a pet in any circumstances, but knowing that they didn't die in pain gives a bit of peace of mind. It had to have been hard to do this on video; respect. Rest in Peace little fish

It's just a damn fish ffs
: O it was still her pet that I’m sure she loved.
: O Fish are extremely lovable pets. My little guys used to see me from all away across the room and “communicate” with us when eating dinner all the way across. They are intelligent creatures that don’t forget, on the contrary from usual beliefs.
Wariofan64 I agree
I’m doing this right now and crying my eyes out it’s so hard to watch him, thank you for this essential video. I’m so sorry for everyone who ended up right here for this same reason. I think I’m here typing so I don’t keep staring at him for the next half an hour. Jupiter hasn’t been right since his tank mate died one year ago. I’ve tried every treatment and he’s suddenly puffed up with kidney failure. I’m not okay at all.
hugs to you :(
My baby Aang is the same his tank mate just passed away a few months ago and he suddenly got sad and stopped swimming so I tried to treat him for swim bladder disease but it developed further into dropsy... rip all our little babies we did our best for them but now they are in a better place
I hope you are feeling better. I am going through this too at the moment so know exactly how you feel. X
I'm so sorry. I'm in the same position and I'm crying and crying. Some people don't understand just how much you could love a fish. We've had ours for 8-9 years. She is part of our family
My nephew wanted a pet to play with and my sister, for some reason, decided that a fish would be okay for a 4 year old. After only weeks he fell terribly ill and my sister talked about throwing it away/killing it. I started researching this type of fish, analyzed him, wrote the symptoms down and made a list of products they could buy to make the fish better. But it was expensive, too much work and so on. I looked through blogs of fish owners and found a girl with the same type of fish, having the same problems and what she did at home to bring its health up. I talked with my sister and talked and in the end they decided to give it a try. I tried to explain why every step is necessary, but they only did like half of what I recommended... thankfully only a handful of days later the fish started eating and in a week or so his fins grew back and then its tail in another week. He is so cheerful now and eats well. But I still wish people would realize that fish are animals too, precious ones at that.
Many people just refuse to research fish care before actually getting them. Fish dont deserve to be treated differently just cuz they dont have fur
rest in peace my dude

1.9k like I turned it
katherine harvey this fish had to be euthanized due to having an internal brain tumor pushing on his brain, causing him to lose his ability to swim properly and he lost his appetite, do he would have either died from the tumor or starved to death
katherine harvey well the tutorial would have looked silly without one obviously
ive never seen someone care so much about a goldfish before, and its strangely... heartwarming i think is the word. such a small creature yes... but its still life... and in this cruel world we live in, wouldn't we all want someone as patient, kind and caring as someone like this person here, to put us gently to sleep and respectfully?
69 years ago goldfish can get one foot long And live 45 years,not that small
69 years ago YOUR USERNAME GOT ME SO HARD I WAS SO CONFUSED
69 years ago ur name made me look twice
Acituanbus aren’t they related to carp though? Carp do grow to be very large
This was very understandable after reading the description. Same with people, if they had tumors that turned them into a vegetable, they'd want it all to end too.
Paige I haven’t read the description yet but turn into a vegetable???
It's another word for saying someone is alive, but they're literally mindless and can't do anything. Like a living statue.
That’s a bold assumption
lol your'e pathetic.
Bribrisme boo i dont consider myself to have very strong willpower so I actually think the same. I can't even imagine living without half my body functions, let alone senses. This is why I respect people who live on despite all these problems.
My dog just got euthanized less than a 12 hours ago. I feel your pain, it’s so sad to see a loved one/pet die this way when they could’ve lived longer if they were healthy. But it means the pet is no longer suffering and now they are in heaven. Rip NuNu🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Im sorry for your loss
People are like “that’s a big fish” gold fish are suppose to live a long time but people don’t know how to properly take care of them.
Anna Banana I had mine for about 4 years, they were tiny, isn’t that long?😂
Bubblebuttercup no goldfish can live 20+ years if I’m remembering correctly
Anna Banana i know right i have a goldfish that is so much bigger
emily s then it was stunted the smallest goldfish variation should get 7-8 inches and your common feeder goldfish are pond fish and can get over q foot the longest one ever recorded was about 2 feet long they’re not supposed to be tiny fish
Anna Banana I had a 10 inch goldfish when I was younger.
You can hear the pain in her voice 😭
ZULCAM true ;_;
Shes clearly done this before. 1st time is always the worst

Sorry about Leo and the fact too many people aren't reading the description before commenting.
Crying my eyes out watching this. My 15 year old goldfish is not thriving in life anymore and I’m so glad I found this lovely explanation because google is so blunt about the process of using clove oil. I’ve loved him for the whole 15 years and it’s going to be so sad to see him go but it’s selfish to let him continue. Rest in paradise, Leon. 👼❤️
I let my fish hit the blunt and away he flew. He was a flyfish. R.I.P Juan, forevernin my heart

+Viper Retaliation thank you. i struggled a few times. Leonidis was a great teacher. i learned a lot about goldfish from him. a very significant fish to me and i was extremely sad that it had to come to this. he still holds a special place in my heart.
+porkaloo I just recently had my Jellybean Parrotfish die and my whole pond of koi and goldfish......it really sucks.
+Viper Retaliation oh no! i am so sorry, that must have been really difficult to endure. did you find out what the reason was?
+porkaloo I think what is ever sadder, the one fish that survived from the pond, just died today, we think a raccoon got him
+porkaloo I never found the reason
I did actually do this. My goldfish was 8 and I couldn’t fix his swim bladder. It was painless that I could see. I did mix the clove oil first I believe. It didn’t take long, he was gone. I did leave him in the tub.The container did fill up with my tears though.
Going through this now... it's so hard

You must’ve had him for years, that’s a huge goldfish! I’m sorry for your loss. Thank you for being so respectful to your animals...he couldn’t have had a better owner.
A better owner would have taken it to a vet.

Thank you so much for walking me through this so peacefully. 3 years now and Leo’s legacy lives on. 🐠💜
Hearing the emotion in your voice really made me remember my beloved fishes.
Medusa fish*
poor lady. you can hear the pain in her voice when she tells us what she’s doing next.
Kristina Le You can tell she really cared about Leon, even if he's just a fish
Not sure how I ended up watching this... but I’ll give it to her, she created an informative video and handled the euthanization of Leo very well. At first I was expecting a small fish (as I’m sitting here going wth have I stumbled upon) but after seeing Leo’s size you can tell he was well cared for and loved until the very end
Thank you so much for these instructions. I had a bumble bee cichlid for many years, long past how long he was supposed to live. I was never sure which fish disease he had, and I tried several treatments but nothing helped. Over the last few weeks, he stopped eating completely, his color was going very pale, and he barely moved. The clove oil did what it was supposed to do, and it was gentle, no thrashing or splashing around, and now I'd like to believe he's feeling better in fish heaven. Thanks again.
Jane Doe r.i.p hope he/she has alot of love in fish heaven
I was ok the entire video until she pet him and said “rest in peace, sweety” and now I can’t stop crying 😢😢😢 it really makes you realize that every life is precious

I am watching this while my tetra sits in clove oil. He was too far gone, I had to end his suffering. Rest in peace, both to this goldfish and to my little guy. 💙
Thank you for making this video. My Arnold joined Leon tonight. I was really scared reading other articles that said their fish took a long time to finally pass and that it looked like they were suffocating. But your video was very easy to follow and very person. I really appreciate you posting it.
you don't have to dislike the video just because you can't handle that an animal dies. She does it in a humane way and that's all that matters.
thank you.
people are allowed to dislike things just like how they are allowed to like things :/ (not talking about the content of the video, just in general)
Artemis Valli Disliking a video sends a bad message to the creator. Why should the woman In the video get punished. If someone doesn't enjoy these type of videos they shouldn't watch them.
Spicy Fresh Kiddo yeah but you gotta remember that not everyone is gonna coddle everyone else :/ it's the internet, if she didn't want negative opinions about her videos then she shouldn't have put it up on TH-cam (aka one of the most toxic websites on the internet)
This isn't about coddling people though. It's about not misusing the dislike button. It's meant for constructive criticism not a way for people to show their emotions.
I get where you're coming from though. Tough videos will always have unfair dislikes
thanks for being the smart one and not flushing it down the toilet
He more then likely would make it too the river where he would grow
Questioning Everything naw, our toilets don’t connect straight to a river. It goes through a filtering facility first
I really didn't want to comment, however, hearing this is hysterical. Water treatment plants are everywhere, and work. True, drains should not be used for anything besides proper waste. Some crazy pipe system that dumps directly into some endangered eco system? Sorry the tree huggers fixed that long ago....
Questioning Everything the pipes don't go straight out to the ocean like you were told as a kid ya know. He'd be in tons of human waste
fecal matter and period blood won't poison the water. It's much easier to remove that from the water than diseases
it’s nice to see people who have so much compassion for a pet i like to believe that even though leon was a small part of your life, his entire life was filled with you. i hope he is in little fishy heaven.
I personally believe all animals go to heaven, including fish.❤
Damn. This is the hardest, and the kindest, video I've ever watched on YT. With tears in my eyes, I thank you for your showing us all how to end the suffering of our beloved aquatic pets.
Thank you, for being kind and respectful towards him. Some people forget that fish also need to be treated wt kindness and you seemed to care for him. Thank you for taking good care of him while it lasted.
This is so hard, it's always rough to see a pet go. But this is by far the most gentle and humane way I've seen for a fish, and I thank you for sharing. I'm so sorry for your loss.

Thank you. I have to do this tonight to my fish we’ve had for 5 years. His name is Bubba because he blew a lot of bubbles when he was younger. My wife named him that. It’s never easy to euthanize your pets and it’s a fear all animal lovers share but when you love them, you know when it’s time.
RIP Sweet Leon... Thank you for this desperately needed video... I appreciate how respectfully you narrated it... I've had my beautiful boy, Spot, for many years... we spend a large portion of each day together and I will miss him badly. His 75 gallon aquarium is right beside my desk... I built the stand it's based on myself. This enthusiastic little companion holds a very dear place in my world... he delighted my brother every day as they shared many happy hours together before I lost him to cancer. I've battled a year to save Spot, but now it's time to stop the struggling and let him rest. When I say my final goodbye to Spot today, I will be losing another little piece of my brother's life, as well. I thank you for talking me through the process and showing me how. To all of you out there facing a similar event... I wish you well. Goodbye, My Beautiful Boy! I miss you, Brother!
my 7 year old fish died 2 nights ago. i knew he was dying... over the course of a few days he went from swimming as he normally would and coming up for food to lying completely on his side, then jerking around trying to swim... i didn't know what to do. i was at a complete loss. i tried to help him get to the top for food by using a net but nothing worked. i have been so sad since i woke up to find him completely lifeless. my family keep poking fun cos i cried. i've experienced the same thing with my past fish. i had 6 total, all lived long lives.
anyway this was very heartbreaking to watch. i don't know if it was a cruel thing i did by leaving him and letting him die instead of putting him down. i don't know if he was in any pain and i just ignorantly let him suffer.. i'm crying as i write this. i feel so terrible. i wish i could have done more.
don't beat yourself up. you did what you thought was best. until i learned a proper way to send them off, i tried other methods which i now regret too. i take comfort in that i now know a better way to send them off. and now you know it too :)
thank you so much. it still breaks my heart... i wish we could them but alas.. i will honestly take your advice into consideration x
I'm sorry for your loss! I know how hard it is to lose a pet. I've also had fish that died on their own. Wish i had known about the clove oil! 😞
I had my dog euthanized and it was such a fail. She suffered at the hands of the vet. If they can put a dog out for surgery, why scare them looking for a vein to put poison in.? I cried for months.
Sounds like swim bladder which is actually quite treatable
very gently and respectfully done. thank you.
This is sad but I appreciate how gentle you are with him this shows how much you truly care I love seeing someone so meticulous about raising fish I've never seen that before.
Thank you for taking the time to upload this video. I had to put my boy to sleep after 8 years. It's the hardest thing I've had to do. I couldn't have done it without your video and very humane instructions. Sending love and much respect all the way from Scotland.
Thank you!
Sleep well my boy x
Thank you so much for giving him such a peaceful easy transition. Fish are still living creatures that feel pain and deserve the most comfortable non stressful transition just as every other animal. Rest now Leon, you were very much cared for by this woman.
dasangelusmortem there's actually a lot of research that suggests that fish are EXTREMELY intelligent and complex emotional creatures 😔
It's actually been proven that most fish don't feel pain.
:)
Frog damn I was gonna say that
"Fish are still living creatures that feel pain and deserve the most comfortable non stressful transition just as every other animal". You ever gone outside? Most animals die a painful death, whether it be eaten alive, tortured for fun, disease or just a human shooting one for food😂
Ricky Spanish that doesn’t mean they don’t deserve peaceful humane deaths.
I never knew someone would go that far for a fish.. not saying something bad just never seen it done to a fish
My art teacher once saved a fly's life, so...
you sounded like you wanted to cry the whole way through... you really care about your fish and I really appreciate you for that. rip little leo...
thank you. he was one which was very close to my heart.
I’m euthanizing my two year old betta Apollo tomorrow, he’s been sick for months now and has gotten to a point where he can’t eat and can barely move. I’ve been very conflicted over whether or not euthanasia is okay, and seeing Leon go so peacefully has made me feel much better about the decision. Thank you for the video, and I’m sorry for your loss. Rest In peace Leon.
Rest in peace, sweet Leon.
You are a gentle and kind soul, lady who made this. I am so sorry for your loss, but he is not in pain anymore.
For the people on here that said to use ice this actually turns out to be a very painful way for fish to die (unfortunately I used this method in the past before finding this out). This is because when water freezes it increases in volume, so as the fish gets colder every cell in their body expands until it bursts. This normally starts happening while the fish is still conscious...
Here's methods that are/aren't recommended by the RSCPA. (Clove oil is recommended, freezing is not);
kb.rspca.org.au/what-is-the-most-humane-way-to-euthanase-aquarium-fish_403.html
Tad Springer fish technically dont feel pain. They have a reaction, but not a negative one i think like humans do. I'd rather do it more humanly than dropping them in ive if i had to choose, but just saying im pretty sure they wouldnt feel disturbed much when comes to pain
Mr. SpaghettiMonster-2 no actually fish have the nerve endings to feel pain
Mr. SpaghettiMonster-2 plants don't feel pain but have a reaction. Fish feel pain like everything else. I studied this when becoming a vet tech.
Tofu and Tattoos Fish do not feel pain the way humans do, according to a team of neurobiologists, behavioral ecologists and fishery scientists. The researchers conclude that fish do not have the neuro-physiological capacity for a conscious awareness of pain.
Mr. SpaghettiMonster-2 you sure? i thought this was recently confirmed as a myth and that some fish do actually feel pain.
Thank you for this video. I unfortunately just had to put down our 9 year old comet goldfish. He was about 13" from head to tail and has moved with us across the country. My wife got him in college when they did an experiment on them, and she decided to keep it.
A few weeks ago, he somewhat stopped eating, and just sat in the corner. We set him up in a large hospital tank and fed him by hand to monitor his health. He seemed like he was recovering until maybe a week later he seemed to have difficulty sitting upright. I believe he had swim bladder issues, but the kind where he wasn't buoyant and would just sink and sit. He was still incredibly strong and would try swim hard, and keep himself upright, but he would just slide over and be on his side, clearly breathing. I watched him struggle for 2 days hoping he'd get better, but he could not hold himself upright. He'd occasionally find a spot to sit up, but it'd only last a few minutes.
I decided tonight the the quality of his life degraded to much and I didn't want to see him like this anymore. I decided to do some research and stumbled upon your video. You seemed to love your fish as we did ours. we gave him his first dose, to where he was heavily sedated and then said our goodbyes. We then gave him his final dose and I sat and watched to time the intervals between his last breaths. He continued to take a breath about every 2 minutes for the next 10 minutes so I upped the dosage again. I watched him take his last breath and watched him for another 15min to make sure he was in a better place. We wrapped him up in some paper towel and took him to the river side where we buried him.
We loved that fish, and I'm completely teary eyed writing this, but I just wanted to say thank you for helping make his last moments hopefully painless and peaceful.
You are a very very good responsible owner and you certainly don't deserve the number of dislikes of people who have not read the description. Thank you.
R.I.P Leon 😔✌️
SlimeBallGuy are you stupid? It means Rest In Peace
SlimeBallGuy lmao was that a joke?
Shadowmation6621 they were clearly joking.
SlimeBallGuy 💀💀
Shadowmation6621 wow you have to be fun at parties
I don’t think I’ve ever had the joy of witnessing such a loving and caring individual. She had nothing but love for the little fishie. I was close to shedding some tears myself. RIP lil guy😩
Kayla Rose I agree 😢😔
Kayla Rose This is the natural cycle of life, Animals live a while and then when their time comes they die.
This is so strange. One minute something is there, a point of view on reality has its center there, and then a minute after it’s gone. But it’s good that you did all that was in your power to make it as quick and humane as possible. I actually cried a little
This popped up in my recommended and I know it's been 5 years since this was filmed but I'm still so sad for your loss😭😭
You know you’re procrastinating when you’re watching how to euthanise a fish😂but this was actually quite sad😭
true, and sadly all I'm even procrastinating is going to sleep..
Facts poor fishy ☹️😂🐠
How did I end up here
Jade Irwin I had the same question myself, isn't TH-cam great that way. Lol
Jade Irwin for some reason it was on my recommended
Jade Irwin mee tooooooo I was watching markiplier
Jade Campbell you know I was wondering the same thing
Jade Campbell I was watching horse showmanship videos and somehow got here
Thank you for being so respectful, it's helping me a lot with having to do this with my fish :( I have had mine for 6 years and it got some type of fin rot and is too far gone :(
I’d like to say a very heartfelt thank you for this video. I sadly had to put my fish to sleep after long term health issues. It was definitely time. Your clear Australian instructions in metric really helped. Lizzie fish slipped away very peacefully whilst being loved and cared for until the end. Much appreciated.
thank you, i am glad Lizzie's send off was peaceful for all. nothing greater than spending quality time right to the end.
For those of u guys saying just flush him down a toilet well will u like it if someone flushed u down a toilet just because it's a fish also doesn't mean a human can't create a special bond with him or her
+Knox just like you
its a gold fish with no real consciousness. unlike people
I don't think that fish gives two fucks on how he dies
Brandon Finley it doesn’t matter. This girl has obviously created a bond with her fish and isn’t just gonna flush them down the toilet. Fish or not it can still be a part of the family
Brandon Finley so because it can’t it should be skinned alive or something? Lmfao
Literally crying, don't know why I'm watching this at 12 pm
KittyQueenx 12 pm is literally the middle of the day..
Dude I haven't owned a fish in years and I'm crying over this poor lady's fish
What the fuck
It’s actually 12:00 am where i am right now
KittyQueenx lol for me it's 12 am
you're watching this at lunch?
When you said "Rest in peace sweetie" it sent chills up my spine. I'm tearing up. I know this was years ago but I'm still sorry for any pain that lingers
Poor sweet fishie, thanks for teaching us how to do this humanely.
I had to use this method on my Fred this morning... once again, thank you for sharing this. Rest in peace, sweet boy... thank you for all of the smiles . You will be missed.
Catonista Alford rest in piece fred...
I bet fred is in hell
ashley pett I wish you were in hell
maybe i will see fred there
When you were shaking the clove oil I thought the fish was in there and I thought "so much for humane" but anyway I hope he's happy in fishy heaven
Jenna McGill thanks for the laugh it was needed
OMG you made me laugh so hard 😂😂😂 I needed to tell myself it's not a funny situation stop laughing
Thank you so much for making this video. I currently have to put down my poor Betta fish because he developed fin rot and I didn't realize what it was until he was too far gone. But, thanks to you he can go peacefully and painless. I cannot thank you enough. (I'm so sorry about your fish)
Thank you for posting this. I need to let my goldfish Comet go as his mouth rot is incurable, even after vets. I've been putting it off because I can't bear the thought of it but watching you go through this with Leon (who was beautiful!) has helped me immensely.
Me: Yeah it’s gonna be an early night tonight
5 minutes later:
RcD ScopeZ 5 months later
Leon is very lucky to have a such a caring owner, most people that buy fish use them as ‘decoration’
Surge Juice lol what???
Thank you so much for this, my betta has been sick for a while and I don’t want him to suffer anymore and this video helps me to realize that it’s the best thing I can do for him. It breaks my heart but it is the most humane thing to do.
Thank you for posting this Porkaloo. I had to follow your excellent instructions this morning on our 10 year old goldfish. It was a difficult thing to do but he went peacefully and humanely. We couldn't see him suffering any longer and nature was very slow to take ts course.
Hi. This video made me very sad but incredibly happy that you are so kind to your fish. Thank you so much for allowing him to pass on in the most comfortable way possible.
It's never pleasant to have to euthanize an animal yourself, but I'm glad she did it this way. My mom had a dog who was riddled with tumors and I had to do it at home for her because she couldn't afford to have the vet do it at the time. I was a teenager. It was terrible.
How?
judy funnie gun would be the only thing that makes Sense
Cant a grown women do it herself instead of forcing a teenager to do it
Jan Malke why would you ask this? That dog was her best friend in the world and she was sobbing the entire time. I would never make my mother be the one to do that. That dog meant the world to her. She didn't "make" me do it. I did it so she wouldn't have to magnify the pain she was already in.
judy funnie I'm not entirely sure that answering this will go over well but here you go. I didn't shoot her or did anything else violent. I gave her some valium and pain medications and just made sure I gave her enough that she wouldn't just wake up sick.
Before anyone jumps on my back, I used what we guess available and tried to make it as calm and painless as I could. The dog waa suffering greatly, as was my mother. If you're thinking I shouldn't have done it, you're saying I should have let her lie there and die a slow and painful death over a period of probably a week or more.
Even though this is an older video I'm so sorry for your loss. I have a red oranda named Pudge who appears to have a ruptured cyst under his left eye. I'm going to give it some time and see what happens but if the need arises then your video will be of great help. Leon went peacefully which is what I want for Pudge. Thank you for posting this.
hello, i am sorry that pudge isn't well at the moment, but i see you posted for support at kokos. would you head back there and reply with the requested information? perhaps the team can help.
@@porkaloo Hello there. Thanks for the response. I have posted all the necessary information at Kokos. 😊
Thank you for making this. I've been crying my eyes out trying to deal with a likewise situation and you're video helped me to do what needed to be done. Thank you again.
So sorry you had to do this rest in peace Leon I'm sure he is swimming happily in haven with many other goldfish ;(
I'm trash I know ;-; im studying biology and fish dont feel pain
Camo Cham wow, youre a huge genius i bet,
I'm trash I know ;-; animals don't have souls henceforth they can't go to heaven they just die sorry
Oluwa A no one goes to heaven bc it aint real
lribbonk LMAOOOO
Midnight: just one more video
3am: goldfish euthanizing tutorial
Micah Mills meeeee
I wish I had watched this video an hour ago. my fish was very squirmy when I added the clove oil. I stirred the clove oil with water but not until it was opaque. It didn't seem like my fish went down easily to be anesthetized and it broke my heart. I ended up adding the second portion of oil pretty quick because I didn't want to prolong any uncomfortable effects on the fish
im glad i found this - i had a sick goldfish, and i used this method hopefully it was as painfree as possible and didnt suffer any more
I don't even think it is possible to flush that fish.
pat yourself on the back, friend. this is a very accurate observation :)
thank you :)
Lane Balog Look who is a little butthurt because someone is a humane person.
Lane Balog The fish had many health issues, Also you need to calm down.
Lane Balog No because I don't get butthurt you little butthurt.
It's possible to euthanize a fish? True you learn new things every day
The pain and shakiness in her voice. I’m sorry your fish had to pass but you did it in such a humane and peaceful way. I hope you find comfort and relief soon
