My vet used gas. I checked. I always check. (And Megacolon is extremely painful, and this type is always fatal. I managed her on a special diet as long as she could eat and play and was happy.) I always ask about surgical procedures, too. It is our responsibility as pet owners to know exactly what our vets are doing and how it affects our pets. Especially when you own animals other than dogs and cats, because not everyone (even vets) knows their particular needs.
I am glad that I only had to go through it that one time... I would rather have my pets go "naturally," but some terminal illnesses are very painful and drawn out. It is hard, and it's good to have a vet that sympathizes and will work with you.
