I'm so sorry you're going through this. We had to put our 15 year old poodle down a couple years ago and it really tore me up. I had a hard time knowing when "it was time" but my vet assured me it would be clear to me when it actually happened. Dax was on heart medication for about 5 years or so and it prolonged his life (in a very positive way) for much longer than I expected. He had a stroke one day and was just totally paralyzed. I had to wrap him in a towel until my husband could get home to take us to meet the vet. I hurt so much for him but knew we had to let him go. I was a real mess for a while but then we got Tatum. She helped heal my heart but I will never forget my first baby. I wish you the best and will be thinking of you and your family.
