Hi Lisa
My son has a puppy who has thyroid problems, and we could see that this puppy is losing ground. The puppy is 9 years old and has had thyroid problem from birth. They were told they could put the puppy on some heavy duty medication, but it didn't mean the puppy would ever get better. Plus the puppy looks like he might have to have major dental work. My DIL has always taken very good care of their puppies teeth, but for whatever reason, maybe the thyroid problem has cause a problem for this dear puppy's teeth.
My son and his wife are not able to pay for all the medical bills, and unfortunately we are not able to help. With sadness in their heart they have decided that when the time comes that they would let nature take its course, and until then they will show this puppy how much he is loved until the end.
Lisa, as for your dear puppy I am not sure of what the answer should be. If putting more money into keeping puppy alive is not going to give him any better chance at a healthy life is it fair to prolong his suffering. Did you say how old your dear puppy is.
I so hope I haven't over spoken my thoughts. I know whatever is the best decission for your puppy your family will make it.
I pray for your puppy's good health.
Kind thoughts and prays are there for you and your family.
Many hugs are going your way.
Gerri
