Dog owners, when is it time to put your dog to sleep?
Advertisements [?]
I am affraid my doggy's health is declining :(

She is almost 19 years old and last year she went through a surgery after which she recovered really well. However in the last couple of months she just don't look that energetic. I think her legs hurts as she started limping a bit and these days she preffer more and more to just sleep. I suspect her eyes are not better either since she can't recognize any movement if the moving object is more than 7-8 meters away from her.

There are more signs of her declining health... But she still barks when there is something she does not like or just want to tell me something :) All her teeth are still in place(which I find amazing), she still have lots of appetite.

I just can't decide what is the best thing to do for her. I've spent 19 years with her and love her very much. I know pet lovers will understand me.

I look into her eyes every day waiting to see there any sign she had it enough. And every day this sign is not there. Or at least I can't see it.

What would you advise me?
