hey,
i am sorry that time is coming but it is for the best. At what point is quality of life still there? i honestly believe it should be the same for humans to but its not.
In 2004 my wife adopted a 12 year old chow/retriever mix who was abandoned randomly after 11 years with a family. Once my wife brought him home to her parents house, he got his forever family. He was loved, and he loved in return. I can personally say I loved that dog and I saw him slowly break down over the years.
In 2010 there was times where he would have trouble walking, and it was really hard for him to get up, plus his head was tilted sideways. After a vet visit he had developed neurological issues, was almost blind, barely had any teeth, and there was really nothing holding his back legs up. However, this dog did not want to go yet and everyday he got up and moved and played and was the happiest he could be despit all his pain.
Feb 14th 2011, the dog could no longer get up. He would try over and over and over again and he just couldnt do it. The day was spent, petting him, feeding him all his fav human foods and just letting him know its okay.
With him not able to move we thought it would be unfair to him to lift him up and take him to a vet. We kept him home and held him until the last second. A house vet came and administered the drugs, and im not going to lie, although you could see him go ever so peacefully, watching the light leave his eyes....
You need to do what is best for your dog, and as much as its going to hurt dont let that interfere with whats right.
I wish you the best man, and I am sorry.
