re: How do you know when it is time to put down your dog?

Wow,

Thanks for all the replies. I've been away forna while after I posted and must thanks to all the answers.

For now we're going to try a few different new meds for another week and see if there is any improvement. Obviously there is no medicine to turn back time but maybe we can help out a few issues. My vet thinks part of the going to the bathroom wherever problem is the dog equivelant of dementia. We bathed him tonight to clean him up and his back legs are really weak. You can easily push him down when lathering the shampoo on his back.

Sucks because for the most part he seems happy.

Again, thanks for all the replies.
