Hey all,
I'm posting this because I have a 15 year old yellow lab named Rudy and is having health complications with his nerves that control of his back legs. He seems very happy and he still eats and he can get up some of the time some of the time he needs a little help and in general it seems to me that he still wants to be here. So what I'm asking all of you is what are any of your thoughts or opinions on the following...
He's 15, he has Lyme disease, he has hip dysplasia in the left hip had surgery on the right, still seems very happy so he has to be on pain meds twice a day. And he poops while he's laying down or sleeping without being able to control it and luckily since he's on pain meds it's usually not that much of a mess at all but I guess what I'm wondering is how long would you guys tolerate this or allow your animal to tolerate this before you thought it was time to put them down? Because to me he still seems very happy like he wants to be here with us. It doesn't seem like he's trying to let go like I witnessed with my last dog and my grandparents dog. Any and all comments and criticism are appreciated thank you in advance
