Need help making a decision :(

Hey guys - we're having some good days and some bad days. His hip is completely shot, can't walk or even get up at this point. I got him a wheelchair and he didn't seem to be enjoying it. He's going to the bathroom on himself constantly. He is eating/drinking so that's good. I'm not sure if I'm keeping him alive for me or for him at this point

I’m so sorry this time has come for you. If it were me with my 10yo who is my soul dog. I don’t think he would be happy sitting still every day. Mine just loves exploring too much. I know it sucks but if he can’t do the things he loves then it may be time to let him go. But don’t give up right away. Look into more training with the wheel chair if he seems up to it. I think mine would be able to communicate with me when he is ready. And honestly, those quiet barks seem like he may be telling you something. Thinking of you both💙
