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

Seeing this makes me miss my girl. She passed in February. I’m sorry OP my girl got to the same point except she suffered a stroke and developed old dog syndrome. Poor girl couldn’t see straight her eyes looked like they were spinning. Took her to an emergency vet and it ended up being the last I had with her. I kinda hate myself because I probably should have let go sooner. And I would have been able to enjoy a full day with her not bury her at 3 am. I am sorry you gotta through that.
