How do I know when its time to put my 13.5 year old dog down? He has bone cancer.?
Amputation and chemotherapy do not seem like the right thing to do for this old guy. Is there pain meds recommended?
You will know when it is time for your friend to cross the Bridge. They get a look in their eyes. They are asking you to help. You will just be able to tell. Don’t second guess yourself after the fact. Your vet will be able to console you. As for meds, I would do whatever I could to make your dog comfortable. I agree and would not amputate or do chemo. 13-1/2 is a ripe old age, even tho we never have enough time with our dogs.
I am sorry for you and speak from experience. Treasure the time you have left.
My vet said it best when she said, “When they just go to sleep, it is easier on us but harder for them. When we put them to sleep, it is harder for us but easier for them. We are responsible for making it as easy for them as possible. That is what it is to love a pet.”
