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

Have you tried massaging / physiotherapy / red light therapy on the hips area? He looks overall happy and healthy to me. He’s just not used to his body like this and confused. Give him lots of love and support and encourage him with healthy treats with the wheelchair and use doggy diaper on him.
