My pooch is getting old, she had major surgery 18 months ago and since then has turned into a old lady, no longer chases her ball, sleeps a lot, no longer jumps up at visitors and can’t go far for a walk before wanting to come home. She has tremors in her back legs and today they have got worse, we have been to the vets for some pain killers and anti inflammatories to see if that helps. I know she’s possibly got stuff going on internally, she’s lost a bit of weight and she just looks old. I don’t want her picked around by the vet because it will just stress her out and cost a fortune just to be told what I already know. Other than the tremors and the struggling to get up on the sofa she seems comfortable (hopefully pain killers will help her feel even more comfortable) but I have a feeling the end is near and I know I will have to eventually make the choice to put her to sleep but how do I know when that time is?
