[quote=Anonymous]The absence of greeting, tail wagging, and affection…those are big signals. I know how hard this is and I agree that a tiny bit too early is better than a tiny bit too late. For our first cat, we waited too long (I couldn’t bear to let go) and the end was terrible. We couldn’t get a euthanasia appointment fast enough, even with a house-call vet, and she died in pain in my arms. We have had to let go of two pets in the years since, and we have been careful not to prolong their life to the point that they suffer needlessly because of our own unwillingness to let go. I always try to remind myself that we knew going in that they wouldn’t live for 20 years…that’s part of the deal. Wishing you luck with this difficult decision, and wishing your dog peaceful days in the meantime. [/quote]
