| what to do..... My MIL has a boxer mix and he is old around 17 yr old. he hasnt been eating well at all the past 2 wks and he has dropped a lot of weight. Even though he is old and can barely move around. has arthritis and his back legs will just give out on him. I was wondering what any YT'ers thoughts were that I could give my mom for him. He is finally eating something even though it is just a handful of crushed milkbone biscuits. thanks any ideas would be welcome..

| Sounds like at this point the kindest and most humane thing to do would be have him put to sleep. |

Luvs Lulu Donating Member | That is what I would do. His quality of life is not very good.

| Love comes in many forms. Sometimes it is very hard to see past your own wants and wishes than what is best for your beloved pet. I wish your MIL the best with whatever she may decide to do.
