[quote=Anonymous]Lap Of Love has a quality of life assessment tool on their website. Only you can make the decision, but as a veterinarian, I will only say “whenever you are ready” when the pet is ready. I agree with many who have commented - except for the people who are calling you cruel because I don’t think you are cruel. I think you are kind and naïve, but not cruel. To the poster who thinks it’s OK to keep the dog alive just because it’s eating, the ability in willingness to eat is not the only determination of quality of life. And the presence of obvious pain is not the only reason to put a dog down. If any of my clients are reading this, they will recognize the comment that I usually make. If they don’t like the things they like and hate the things they hate,  their quality of life is suffering. I also agree with the sentiment that I have many clients who felt they waited too long to euthanize their pet, but none who felt they did it too soon. I think you are being kind and wheezing until after your child’s big exam just make sure your pet is comfortable until the day. My thoughts are with you. [/quote]
