Looking for some opinions please:
My black lab is almost 17 yrs and I think its his time , but I feel like im doing something wrong. To me he has no quality of life left. He falls all the time, has to wear diapers , misses the sofa when he goes to climb on it, can't get up on his own on the hardwood floors , can't get off the couch without falling , barks all night long , whines all the time , slams his head into the floor ( has dementia ) . Now has two sudden tumors or cysts , but I don't want to put him through any tests dur to his age .
We have to cover the furniture in plastic because he leaks while he is laying around , even with a diaper on . After having him outside for and hour or more , he will come back in and when nobody is looking he shits on the floor even after he just shit outside . He still eats like a pig , but not much else , poor guy
.
We had three other dogs we had to have put down over the past 20 yrs, 1 rott , 2 akitas . But they were different situations . Two old age and kind of emergency related , the latest one , our female akita , 2014 christmas day to bloat . This one is just different. Sorry for the wall of shit I just need some opionions please.
Here is the old man , Earl.
