Our 16 year old dog with dementia hasn't been doing well recently so we took him to the vet today. It turns out that he also has a tumor in his chest. I was candid with the vet and asked how to tell if he still has quality life. The vet pretty much agreed that he doesn't really seem to have a good quality of life anymore.

We'll give him a few days to see if the new meds will perk him up for a bit longer, but either way it'll be time to say goodbye soon.
Sometimes kindness is doing the hardest thing.
I cried all the way there but was relieved on the way home because I now know what to do.
