So sorry to hear this. When was younger I had a dog that had a similar situation. He started having trouble jumping up on things and stuff so I took him in and he was diagnosed with cancer. He did okay for a while then started losing weight and got to the point where it took him a while to stand or go up and down the stairs, but once he was up he seemed happy and fine. I couldn't bring myself to have him put to sleep so I helped him as much as I could. About a month later he stopped eating and I knew I had to do it. Still to this day I think I might have waited too long and that he lived in pain that last month.

I wish you all the best and hope that whatever decision you do decide to make it is the best one for both you and Cayman.

Also, based on how I felt, I would try to do it on a day where you had not other commitments so you can give yourself a day to just take care of that and allow yourself to let the grieving process begin. Obviously one day isn't enough time for the pain to pass, but I ended up going to work after having him put down and it was one of the most miserable days of my life.
