I went through this with my 17 yr old IG in Feb, 2010. There is nothing I can really say that might help, except, I did use Reglan to combat nausea and it helped a little. Now, my vets are giving me Cerenia. Also, I was given mitirzapin (sp?) for another dog for her IBD to get her to eat, and someone on this board was giving it to her renal failure baby to get her to eat with success. It does work and I wish I had known about it for Poppi.
I think, really I believe, you will know when it is time. For my renal girl, I made an appointment, then canceled it. I didn't feel it was time. Unfortunately, it was within a couple weeks.
My heart goes out to you. I know your heartache, as many of us do. You always have many shoulders to cry on and pour your heart out to on YT.
