Animal euthanasia

Q: I'm working in animal an animal hospital and  sometimes we got patients like horses in very bad conditions in pain so we use a drug that can kill in seconds. Is there anywhere in quran or hadith or shariya that we shouldn't kill these kind of patients that are in pain?

A: The animals that are troublesome could be killed.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
