[quote=Anonymous]The primary reason should not be money, unless you're really suffering and cannot afford basic necessities. But if the pet is suffering, doesn't have a great quality of life, and little hope of their illness getting better, then yes, euthanasia is appropriate, at any age. For ex: my 7 year old medium sized dog seems to have problems with his colon. We can afford his treatments; he's still behaving like a happy dog (eating, playing, socializing, etc) apart from the few days a month when his illness peaks and he's visibly uncomfortable. So even though we don't have clarity right now as to whether this is permanent or not, he's still youngish for his breed, and we are not planning on euthanasia just yet. [/quote]
