It doesn't sound as though the dog's quality of life is bad. She is eating well, and running around, she sounds pretty happy. Since it sounds like the wound is open, not stitched together, it has to granulate in and that takes longer to heal. Maybe if the wound isn't getting worse, and a new infection isn't setting in, she will make it. I know I wouldn't be able to euthanize if she were happy and her quaility of life was good. However, if the wound were getting worse, and infection was setting in, then I am sure she would start to feel bad and her quaility of life would be in decline. I have to agree with others, I would take it day by day.
