Yeah I agree
I have a puppy shin tzu as we speak and she is healthy. But she hasn’t visited the vet because my mom is too busy spending her time and money on our dog
And the vets where I live don’t care about animals. They’ll claim any dog is dying, as long as they get money. If the dog is over 7-10 here it’s going to be told to be put down. And they’ll preform tests without permission and overpriced. Not to mention they take advantage here and make you spend 1-2k on a single visit.
I think she is afraid but putting him down is cheaper at one vet I know. About €50-100. And she spent wayyy too much just for him. She also did the same with her true love dog for 16 years, until she died of heart failure, kneel cougj, VD, and something else
I keep telling her but she claims he is okay. She even just woke me up last night at around 4am telling me to make hotdogs for him to take his pills.
But I feel like speaking to her, but my family keeps tell her to keep him. Every time she says she’ll put him down, she goes “I’ll wait a week” “I’ll do it” she has done it for almost a year now
Sometimes I ask my dog to just let go. But most of or animals never died on their own, only being put down by he VET because the vet themselves had to influence my parent to do it. And the only times she mainly said yes was because most of the animals she didn’t like as much as the current dog and her former female dog that died a year ago, as started earlier , from issues
It takes her years to agree to. I’ll try to talk to her. It’s just she isnt the type of mother that will accept opinions from her kids, she is the type to assume smart mouthing even if I say it respectfully and directly
One way or another, and sooner or later, the dog will die.
Everything you say makes me think that what you should really be thinking about is your relationship with your mother, and how you can get out from under her thumb.
Thank you for your honest response
I told her an hour ago,
He is going on Saturday, if he is alive by then
Your comment gave me a bit of courage. I think the real sign was that he stopped eating
***Update***
Nevermind the dog put his head up after she forced electrolytes into his mouth and now she is saying “he is not dying yet he is just dehydrated “
And now I’m forced to be a 24/7 care nanny while she is at work, force feeding him energy drinks . Thanks for the advice, nothing I do works, even with my honest opinion. Now she won’t even listen and argues. And I’m just waiting and literally asking for him to go because I see in his eyes he doesn’t even want to stay. And I can barely stand to go near my mother at this point, because it isn’t fair to him and the rest of the animals (that she barely notices)
I'm fairly sure you vestibular disease? VD is an abbreviation of Venereal Disease, which is the old name for Sexually Transmitted Infection/Disease, hence my confusion.
Should I put my dog down? (old, sick, emotional)

Kennel cough is when the dog has a chronic cough, sometimes other symptoms but that’s the main. The dog literally sounds like a hog when it coughs.
And yeah they had VD, and kept getting dizzy, having seizures, and such. Nothing you would want

I know what kennel cough is, but how would a dog get a sexually transmitted disease? What you're describing sounds like epilepsy

No dogs are born with VD they don’t just get it. I meant viscticular disease, it has similar symptoms to epilepsy, but it’s for senior dogs only

And Yes I meant vestibular disease is similar to epilepsy
