Its so hard to know when the time has really come to gently let your beloved dog go to sleep. I'm going through something similar and just wait for signs from my dog. So far mine is not in pain, or soiling and still has an appetite. So, I don't think its time yet. I feel this is a really hard and confusing decision to make, even when everyone in your life supports you and your feelings. It must be awful for you to not be supported right now, so I understand the need to ask others what they think. I don't think you were asking should you shoot the dog but were saying thats what your family says. It seems like it may be time to let him rest, so I would take him to the vet and hold him while he falls asleep. On the way, don't forget to get him a burger and fries or some other treat. I'm sorry to hear you are going through this. |
