Question by Cammie: Dog has been throwing up for 3 days and everytime she eats or drinks she throws it up, what should i do?
I am house-sitting for my aunt and she has an old dog who has a lot of issues. Well right before she left the dog started breathing really hard and what not. This dog does not seem happy and is in a lot of pain, and has been for while. She is going to take her to the vet when she gets back in a couple days and i think they will have to put her down. She isnt happy and in my opinion that would be the best thing but i know how hard it is when you lose a pet you love its like losing A family member. anyhoooo She has been throwing up and i need help on how i can make her feel better even if its temporary. She is 15 ppl yrs old has had a stroke, arthritis in hips bad teeth hard to eat really over weight. the night this all started she was acting weird pacing throwing up walking side ways and when i told my aunt she says that sounds like what happened when she had her 1st stroke so i am not sure if that is what happened. all i know is she keeps coming in here and breathing hard dry heaving because she cant eat or drink and i feel like she is asking me for help. I slept with her that 1st night and this is killing me!! Can someone please tell me how to make her comfortable, even if its only for a little while. She cant be pacing around like this because of her arthritis and her legs are giving out and she is exhausting herself. PLEASE HELP.if i had the money we would be at the vet right now

Question by DeltaJuliet: When to put dog that eats, recognizes, and goes outside to sleep?
Our 13 year old Golden Retriever has weak hind legs (hip dysplasia) and sometimes barks when he’s lying in the kitchen which has hardwood flooring. Our family is under a lot of stress lately and this issue just adds to the pile. My mom thinks it’s close to that time, but I think otherwise. Our dog hasn’t peed/pooped inside in years and holds it for hours when we’re gone. He also still wags his tail when someone comes home and still eats his food. I’m just wondering if other people put their pets down when they are like this.
Finally people who agree with me! I’ve been told I’m kind of in denial, but I know it’s just not right to put him down now. I couldn’t imagine living after knowing he was put down while still in a decent condition. Thanks for everyone’s input.
We’ve been caring for him his whole life. He has been taking Rimadyl and glucosamine chondroitin for the last year or so. We also have had carpet runners on the floor so that he won’t slip around. We’ve even built him a wheelchair ramp to go outside. I think my mom was just freaking out like she usually does. Thanks for all the replies though. Now I don’t feel like an idiot.

Why would you put down a dog that is not suffering or sick?
