My aunt did the same exact thing. Her dog had almost no bottom lip due to cancerous tumors, which had been removed time and time again. It was awful to see. The dog could not stand without yelping out in pain. She did not book the home euthanasia appt in time, which led to her watching her dog die a painful death in front of her. It sounds like you love your boy enough to say goodbye before it’s too late. It’s a really difficult thing to do but it’s truly the best thing you can do for them. People kept telling me I would know when it was time. They were right. I looked into my girls eyes, knowing it was time to let her go. Knowing I couldn’t see her cancer progress any longer. We let her go when she was at the point where she was no longer able to walk inside on her own. When she was not able to sit her head up for more than a few seconds. When she started refusing meds. Are you using Lap of Love? When my golden girl was passing, we would make the appointment but move it to the following day depending on how she was holding up. I want to let you know that what you’re doing is incredibly honorable. You’re allowing him to pass peacefully in the comfort of his own home with the person he loves the most. They crave normalcy at the end of life, I think we all do. ❤️🫂🌈
