pet not well what to do

[Carol52]

my pet is not well he is suffering with pancreatitis and prostate problems he is 12 and a old man. For nearly 4 weeks he has stayed at the vets being brought home on constant antibiotics pain rea
lief etc. Ge does not look happy and has very little energy. The vet keeps trying new medication but the bills are ridiculous. i went today and said his quality of life is not getting any better it is sad to see. They gave me a questionnaire to answer and more tablets. They said a dog can get reacting problem from this slot, I think it is time to make a decision. i can’t keep financially paying and he is not getting any better, Any advice please

Do the kindest thing and let him go?

Kindly, I think this is one of those instances where pts is more humane than further veterinary intervention. Xx

I’m sorry if that’s harsh, but if you’re not managing to improve his quality of life, and he’s old, sad and miserable and in pain….

Have him put to sleep. You can be there and talk to him, give cuddles as he gently departs this earth.

Can you bring him home and spoil him for a day or two before asking a vet to pts at home? It is the last gift of love you can give him x

It's time to let him go.

I see you've started another thread; you're going to get the same replies on that one as well.

He’s 12 and he’s been in the vet for 4 weeks??? No, op. Absolutely not. Let him go, that is what I would do.

Shame on that vet.

Your lovely dog is obviously suffering and will be very confused. I would do the kindest thing by him and let him go. I am so sorry for you having to go through this. It is never easy, but a day early is better then the regret of a day too late. Sending you a hug.

sorry about the two posts. He was in the vets for 3 days but we have been going back at leah once a week and trying g different pain relief etc.

Why are you not having him PTS? He’s suffering unnecessarily.

As sad as it is the kindest thing to do would be to let him go

Just saw this, sorry to be blunt but put the poor dog out of his misery. You’re keeping him around for your own selfish reasons, which I can understand as it must be so hard to let go but you’re allowing him to suffer now

the vet is saying he could be on medication for weeks . they are not even saying it’s time which is really upseting . they are leaving it to me

Let him go x
