I haven't voted yes or no, although, if I'm honest, I say more yes. 18 is very old for a dog and it doesn't sound like she's very happy. Not because of you but because she's so old! Have you actually asked the vet what they think the best thing to do is? I will say, if she starts to be in pain then I really think you should. Years ago now, my cat had to be put down because her kidneys had had enough. She was old but it was still sad and so hard to go through with. I know it's hard but please think of the dog before your own feelings. Sorry if that sounds harsh but I'm sure you know she does come first. Make her as comfortable as possible etc but if she gets worse then... you know what to do. Speak to the vet again too - they do know what's best for animals.
