Hi. Some of you might have read my posts over the last year regarding my beloved Chewy and how he circles all his waking hours. He is 15 yo (be 16 in November) and he still circles and has been for a year now. The vet has determined his problems are neuro-related. I won't bore you with all the details, but my poor baby is just falling apart (no strength to stand to eat and poop, frequent accidents in the house and even while he's circling, unusual sleep patterns (up all night and sleeps all day), etc. However, he still eats and drinks and isn't in any pain; which is why I've let this go on (even though the Vet says "he wouldn't have let it go one this long). The reason for my post is: How do you muster the strength to do the right thing and let him go? I feel like I'm giving up on him and even murdering him by euthanizing him. How do I know Chewy is okay with this and ready to let go too? I'm a Christian and I've been struggling with the commandment of "Thou Shall Not Kill"...do you think God is including euthanizing a pet due to him not living a happy-dog's life anymore?? I certainly appreciate your advice, comments, stories...
