My little Maltese suffered from dementia and was deaf and blind. I let him go on like this for about two years.

He would pace and pace in circles all day; defecate in the house; then pace in it. He did not know we were home unless we actually touched him.

I still feel guilt but I know that he had no quality of life at all. When I boarded him at his Vet's office for a few days - they told me he could not come back. This is when I knew - he was too far gone. Even his trusted vet's office could not take care of him anymore.

I don't know what to tell you - only that quality of life does matter, I believe. Hopefully, your vet will be able to give your some guidance.
