It's been a very long time since I last posted but returning here bc I need some support.
My Duke is 14yo. His back right leg has pretty bad LP that he does not use that leg anymore and his back left is getting worse too. Vet said bc of his age, he wouldn't make it thru surgery.
He is not able to get to his pee pad and starting to not just track but also his #2 is all over too.
His mood seems down too.
We are not sure what to do. The med from vet is not helping.
Afraid that we are holding on more for us than for him.
He has no other medical concerns so we are just so confused on what to do.

Any thoughts or advice?
