Your main interest should always be what's best for your dog
If he is pain and it can be fixed or if it is temporary
then it's ok to do whatever is needed to get him thru it
BUT ... if there is a problem that is going to be persistent and keeping him from living a quality life?
Then who is it benefiting?
This isn't something that is acute but you nned to speak with your Vet
ask Him how much discomfort the dog is having
and ask him what it will be like in 6 mos a year or longer
You never want a dog to suffer because you can't bear to part with them
I know it sounds terrible the very idea
but as owners we have the responsibility of giving them the best life possible and keeping them from pain and discomfort
