How do you know it's time?
The decision to put your pet to sleep is a difficult one and will depend on the individual circumstances of your pet and the quality of life they are facing. Every pet should be examined by an experienced veterinarian to make sure that euthanasia is the right thing for your pet. Pets will have good days and bad, especially if they are elderly or suffering from cancer or arthritis. Here a few things to look for to help you determine whether or not your pet is still experiencing good quality of life:
*Is your pet still eating and drinking? Do they have an appetite?
*Are they still alert and responsive? Do they still take interest in the old activities they used to enjoy?
*Is your pet able to stand and walk? Do they seem to be having excessive trouble getting up? Do they frequently lean against counters/walls/your legs for support?
*Is your pet losing weight rapidly?
*Does your pet have trouble going to the bathroom? Are they squatting in pain, having trouble, or experiencing incontinence?
