I went through something like this a couple of years ago. My little guy was 15 years old. He could still walk pretty well and he ate but he was not himself. He stopped doing the things he used to do and slept a lot. He just didn't seem like the same dog. Didn't interact like he had before. It is confusing trying to figure out what is best for the dog. I finally realized I was doing him no favors by letting him go on like that. He was not enjoying life anymore. I had to have two of my kids take him to the vet because I was wreck just thinking about it. I guess I thought it would be easier to know the right time but it's not as clear cut as we would like it to be. I pray both of you will know the right thing to do and when. |
