My dog is too old to get up and eat.

My dog is is very old. She can't get up anymore to eat or drink. What do I do ?

at this point it is a moral delema. do you let your dog suffer so you can keep him/her around or do you do the humane thing and go to your vet for euthenasia. If there is nothing else your vet can do for the animal then I believe in euthenasia. This is a choice you have to make but I have always had two signs for myself when It was time to euthanize any of my animals,...when they can't get up to go to the bathroom and when they can't get up to eat. I have worked at many vets offices and a couple of humane societys and I believe in euthenasia. Think about the quality of life your animal has and I will leave it at that. My sympathy for your hard decision.

Thank You for your advice regarding my dog. It was very early Sunday when I needed this help. I later called a vet who's office is 60 miles away. He said the same thing. I checked on her again and she had stopped breathing. Later on Sunday June 28 at 3pm I
   
burried her in my back yard. We had her for just over 21 years. Pretty good for a husky who's life span is usually around 12 years, I think.
   
Thanks again. Bye for now.
