Should I put my dog down? (old, sick, emotional)

  • Thanks for your opinion and honest response. I just told her an hour ago I think he should be put down. She is agreeing to it this Saturday. Now he can’t eat, and she knows when they can’t eat they usually die (we have a history of animals dying after aneroxic behaviour).

    She wanted him to die naturally a year ago, but he is a fighter. But now he is given up but can’t go by himself. I understand she wants him to live, she loved this one dog that was born 2 MONTHS before me and loved it more than me sometimes. But she died. And since the dog I’m talking about now looks like her and her offspring, she kind of relates and loves him just as much.

    I hope she actually goes through with it this time, because every other time she went off when the dog got up by itself and such

    We struggled carrying him to the bath. We have to pick him up for him to drink water, and even force feed him pills, and food now. And now he is basically paralysed from the back, and Normal from
    The front. He is at his last days, and his whole mouth gums are black to the point it’s like he doesn’t have oxygen there. And he makes weird noises and I can’t take it.

    So yeah I had the courage to tell her after both of your posts. I almost didn’t go through with it. So I thank you for telling me. I love animals, even wanted to be a vet. But I can’t stand seeing sick, suffering, or dying animals. I love them too much, and they’re so innocent creatures.

    ***Update***

    She is now not putting him
    Down. I need to force feed him
    Electrolytes every hour. She kept force feeding him water and when he moved his head, she thought he shouldn’t go. I’m just going to wait until he dies because I can’t stand to see him and I’m tired of her at this point.
