[quote=Anonymous]You know your child's maturity level the best. A little older and I would be firmly on the side of telling them that we had to euthanize, but some 9yos are still very emotionally immature. In general a child can understand that animals don't understand why they're in pain and can't manage it the way a human can, so sometimes the best thing you can do as a responsible pet owner is to take the animal's pain away. It makes us very sad as pet owners, but we have to do what is best for them. [/quote]
