2000 Report of the AVMA Panel on Euthanasia  http://avma.org/resources/euthanasia.pdf

Recommendations:  "The advantages of using barbituates for euthanasia in small animals far outweigh the disadvantages. Intravenous injection of a barbituric acid derivative is the preferred method for euthanasia of dogs, cats, other small animals, and horses."
