| As someone who had to make the decision for both of my dogs within 10 days of one another.....I know how hard it can be.
You really have to know your dog and be able to read the dog. Some people do not realize that pain can be shown in different ways...it is not always whining or screaming. Many dogs pant and are restless when they are in pain.
I have been boarding dogs for 12 years...and I have seen time and time again that people let their dogs suffer way too long. They cannot bear to lose their dog...so they keep the poor dog going. :(
It really is heartbreaking...and I wish they could see their dogs through my eyes.
I took two rolls of film of Bruno and Teddy just days before they were PTS...and now that I have the pictures developed...I can see the pain in Bruno's eyes. The white's of his eyes are showing, his ears are back...and he has a sad expression.:(
I think that a person must decide when it is time and your vet will also help you with the decision.
