I am not sure if it is the right time to do this, Infact i am not sure even how to put this question, well my 16 yr old aussie/mix, has many health problems now, his teeth are bad, he seems as tho he is getting pretty senile, he goes out about 10 times a night to urinate, and he has 2 lumps on each side of him, his hind legs don't work so well anymore, so he needs help up and down the stairs, and my question is, does anyone think I am making him suffer to stay alive, I think he is just trying to stay alive for my sister who has mulitple sclerosis, and we have lost 3 dogs to cancer and kidney and liver failure in the last 1 1/2 yrs, so to have to put another one down is very difficult for me, he is my child as the other 3 are, oh and he has gas really bad, daily, no matter if he eats the best food in the world or the worst, I just want to know, when do you know when it is time to put a beloved child down? anybody got any good answers for me....thank's Pam
