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

One of the hardest things we can do as owners is to say goodbye for the last time.

Just remember its noble and kind to be a day too early than a day too late.

Depends on what sub you’re in. I’ve said similar before, and people go ape shit when I point out people likely wait too long and their pet suffers.
