I know where you are coming from....I had a Shihtzu a few years ago that was going blind, deaf, etc.....so horrible. I know that the sweetest of animals will lash out from unknowing and being scared...not because they are being mean....it is just because they either don't know, can't see, are confused, are hurt, etc. Putting a beloved pet to sleep, is VERY hard (I will not lie to you). I still cry over our little guy and that has been YEARS ago. I don't cry because I had to put him to sleep (the procedure)....I cry because he isn't here anymore. It can be tough. The good thing about it (that somewhat makes me feel better) is knowing that we did the RIGHT thing.....he is no longer in pain, no longer suffering, no longer confused and scared. If you have a good vet, they will talk to you about everything and even let you be there, holding him while they put him to sleep....that is what ours did anyway. You can even take him home to bury him or (like my vet), they can give you a number (if anywhere near you) for a place that will cremate him and give you the ashes back. You might want to ask the vet or check around to see if there is a place like that around you (if that is an option for you). A good vet will help you in anyway they can at this time of need. I've been there several times and it never gets easier. But please, just find a good vet for you and the dog and find comfort in knowing that this would probably be the best for the poor little guy! You and your family are in our thoughts!
