[quote=Anonymous]Have a golden who is going on 13. We are lucky he has lived this long. His arthritis has gotten so bag that he can basically no longer walk. He has no use of his rear legs and lower spine. He is large (about 90 lbs) so getting him in and out is a huge huge effort. Lately he has been going to the bathroom wherever he is sitting because he cannot even stand to go to the bathroom, it requires daily baths/washdowns. Basically he cannot move on his own and 98% if his time is spent on his bed. What makes this so hard is that he still eats and seems fairly happy yet there is no quality of life for him. My vet has strongly suggested we do this, and I told her it was unthinkable. But I pulled my back the other day trying to get him outside and am starting to have to rethink this. I am feeling like maybe I am keeping him here more for me than him, having never gone through this would really appreciate any input or advice. Thank you.[/quote]
