    Was there a body to this note?  What's T61?

    There was no body.  I wanted to keep this low key.  T61 is a
    euthanizing agent - used on my last kit.  I was not pleased with
    it, and wanted info as to acceptance in the Vet community; usage
    instructions; comparisons with more classical materials; etc. The
    apparent selling point is that it does not require government
    involvement, as most barbiturates do (heresay).

    Having been to the vet today to gat Max fixed (do I call him Min
    now?), I found the answer to my question.
    
    T61 is a non-controlled substance, so some prefer it for the lack
    of regulatory paperwork.  It is CERTAIN, whereas a barbiturate OD
    on occasion is not (interesting).  It is also slower, but equally
    painless.  My vet won't use it, for which I am glad, should we ever
    have a need.
