Definitely put her down. Its quite obvious she is no longer happy with her life. She is barking for some reason. Hip dysplasia is quite painful for dogs and so is arthritis. Would you want to live in those conditions? I had to put down my 7 wk old pure bred retriever pup cause she got pneumonia and it caused heart damage to her the vet said it would be an excruciating death to let her die naturally. I was so devastated nearly crashed driving home with her wrapped up in my coat. Cried so hard my throat hurt. Buried her my Claire bear up on the hill. Wrapped in my coat with her toys some food and a photo of me and her. It really eased my pain doing this. I knew she would be warm be fed and have her toys in dog heaven. I was there when my female gave birth to her so it was truly sad. But in the end it was the most humane thing to do for her.
IIN or wrong to put down my 18 year old dog?
