My Cody is he suffering? Should I put him down?

You should have done that a long time ago. Reading through I notice your pet has been suffering for a while now. When there is no cure and we know the pet is suffering we need to be selfless and relieve them of their suffering. I have done that to a couple of our pets. Bhagira had a wound under his tail and each time he exerted it would bleed. It went on for several months. The vet said that he probably had cancer as no amount of cleaning and applying medication would set him right. He was normal otherwise but we took that decision.

Just because he isn't making sound like he is in pain doesn't mean he isn't in pain. Think of this as if he was human and you were the peeling every were, couldn't see couldn't hear. Couldn't run and play with those you loved. Wouldn't you be heart broken and hurting on the inside from the day to day pain of not being about to just enjoy life and be there. If he wasn't both blinded and deaf then he could use his other 3 seances and all he working on is smell and taste. I wouldn't make my dog suffer just to be with them longer. Almost 3 years ago my parents had to put down my dog. She might not have looked unhappy but she was and we all knew it. She way dying slowly in a not so fun way. She had cancer and the tumor in her brain was turning it to mush. She was alway bleeding from her nose, coughing up blood sneezing it out as well. She couldn't see well just lauded around the house clinging to life. She was dying and she didn't want to go but it was time for her to go. My parents say with her the whole time while she was passing away she never felt any pain. The doctors gave her a nice little grave and took her paw print for us. I was pregnant and couldn't make this choice but I understood and I'm glade with picked this way for her to pass away vs her slow lying dying in pain.

If Cody can't see, can't hear, and can't control his physical functions it is past time to let him go. I know how hard it is, I've had to help 3 of my beloved dogs cross into heaven. It hurts like hell but but not as much as seeing them suffer. We have extended life so much for both animals and humans that we are all here much longer than we should be, and we are usually miserable the last few years. Only the animals can't express their misery, they just endure and try to please us. Please, let Cody go. He'll be waiting for you when it's your time to cross over, it's only a temporary separation. But please don't make him suffer anymore just because you can't bear to let him go. Go with him, hold him, tell him you love him and let him escape his pain and misery. Yeah, it hurts but at least you know your loved one is at peace.

Speaking from experience, I feel that Cody is not whimpering or showing signs that he is suffering because he is still trying to please his master and mistress. He may be struggling a little but I think he is fighting every bit to make you happy. So, please be happy with him, praise him, play with him and let him have his favorite things. The fact that he is struggling is that he can sense that all of you are worried and debating aloud that he sense that he is somewhat responsible. So, he is trying every ounce of his strength to make all of you happy, stop debating whether to put him down or not and you will know what I mean. Just treat him as usual and I believe it is time you all should make him happy. I have 2 dogs who passed away naturally and both of them were never put down. I always know that something is amiss and would make them as comfortable and happy. Both of them actually passed away peacefully in the morning but not without visiting each of the family members before they retire into their crate. So, please stop stressing yourselves and be happy like before. He is not sick but stressed by all your concerns which he sense is his doing. Let him know that all of you are happy with him and that he can do whatever he likes before he departs.

I think that you should get him checked out by a Vet and then take a decision. he may actually be in pain but not whimpering. Regretfully, this is a possibility. It is awful when the time comes to let go of our beloved pets as it hurts so very much I do hope that he will be okay for a time yet but be prepared that yiu may be advised to have him put to sleep. So sorry

I don't think you should listen to your husband. Just because we 'think' someone or something is unhappy, does not mean they are. I think, that you should take the best possible care of your little Cody, and when his time comes, he should be with you, and it should be natural. Cody loves you, so honor that, honor his spirit and hug and cuddle him for the rest of his days. Dogs are wonderful, and to them, a hug and cuddle mean the world. Honor his spirit while it is with you, and hold him. My best for you.

My heart sincerely, goes out to you! A decision, so very hard..there is no amount of suggestions or talk, here, that will make it easier for you...and when you make that decision, one way or the other...the question always remains...WHAT IF? Yes, he is aged, and yes, he does have diminished eyesight and hearing..but it seems there is a special Guardian Angel, that improves his other senses..like smell..to aid him! How can we say his quality of life is diminished..I, too, don't run and play like I did many years ago, that doesn't mean my quality of life is less. Sadly, he is incontinent...that happens to us, to! Something he cannot control..nor may not even be aware of. There are disposables available for our little friends in fur coats...just like there are Depends for humans, whom are incontinent. I do not remember, a time in my life, when I was without a dog, and sadly they have all predeceased me...and I remember each and every one, like they were laying beside me, today! Some have passed naturally, and a couple, I asked for Vet assistance...but that was after a complete consultation regarding their issues and whether going forward, there was hope that they were/would be pain free! And my first indication that they were suffering, was a mournful cry, of which I investigated immediatley (Vet intervention)! I, for one, cannot suggest what you should do...but I do know, I had some form of divine intervention (or it seemed)telling me ..seriously, that the time was nigh! My heart, truly...does go out to you!

Only you can chose. Remember as a dog ages he doesn't know what will happen in the future, but you must consider his quality of life and make a good choice for him. Blessings, it very hard.

It is never easy to consider putting a loved pet down as an option, but it is a reality when you know they are suffering. No one can make this decision for you and that alone carries a heavy weight on your heart. Was considering the same with my German Shepard. Bad back, arthritis in her back legs. She was suffering. Took her in for a check up to the vet and honestly asked him what could be done. He gave all the pleasant suggestions of special dog food and vitamins but with her age (14 years) he said it's time to consider putting her down. She passed away while was trying to make up my mind. She didn't complain, just moved slow but that smile was gong out of her eyes. We had it easier because before had to make that choice she passed on. I hope you find peace with your decision.

I don't know what to say. Does he still recognize you? Does he show signs of joy when you pet him? Do you ever see him wagging his tail? If so, it means he can still enjoy moments of his life. When we decided to put our dog to sleep, she didn't recognize us. She was indifferent at our words and pettings, she didn't want to eat anything. She was suffering for too long. I know it is a hard decision to take, but you have to take it alone. Nobody can tell you when it's the time. Good luck!

It's always sad to watch as a beloved pet gets old and it's always a difficult thing to say when the right time is to put them down. Only you will be able to know and he will let you know when he's ready. Have you taken him to the vet? I would just ask the vet if he's in any type of pain due to his health and age. If he's not in pain and he's still eating his food, then it may not be his time yet. I wish you the best, I know how hard it is to see your animals get old
