How do you know?
Hi everyone, i just have a sad question to ask. How do you know when it is
time to put your dog to sleep? I think it is getting very close for my old boy. He is 13 and over the last few weeks has just gone down hill so fast. He is eating his own pooh, he has a problem and cant digest his food, i just found a tumour on him (only small but has doubled size in a few days) he has cancer in the belly and has other lumps all over him. He has arthritis and never wants to go for walks anymore (a few months back he would go down two or 3 houses and come home, it wasnt much but it was something). Our other dog (3 year old bulldog) is fighting with him so much. We just got him a new bed and corner to sleep in inside to make things a bit nice for him. We are going to the vets tomorrow to get the tumour looked at, he wants to operate on him tomorrow. I am scared that he wont make it through the operation, that he is just going to be in more pain then he is now. Please, can someone tell me what they did in this situation? My boy is my life and i dont want him to suffer anymore then he is. I really wish dogs lived 80 years like us...
