You have reached a point when you may have to make a pain full decision. IF you dog is in pain. what do you do? Do you make him suffer just because you want him around? Or if there isn't any thing the doc can do to stop it. Do you love him enough to stop his pain?
I don't say this lightly, or in any form of ridicule. We have just went thru this. Our Bassett, had arthritis, and his hip kept coming out of the socket. He also had many other things goin on. He didn't cry, or whine. But was in severe pain. We have been thru it before, and waited too long the last time. In effect torturing our dog, because we didn't want to lose them.
Question is. How much do we love our dogs. If the pain is irreversible, and will never stop. Do we love them enough to stop their pain. I for one will NEVER again allow any dog of mine to suffer. It's just plain mean, and I have already done that. Hard to forgive myself for it.
hope the doc can help your dog
