It's not an easy decision. It's a heart wrenching decision. I'll be thinking of you and your beloved Chow.

I know how hard it is. I myself had to put down my amazing Beau, who was just 4. He had terrible epilepsy and it caused brain damage. One day after a night of seizures he turned on me in the yard. He didn't even know me. And with the bond I had with that amazing soul I knew if he ever hurt me it would kill him.

So I had him put down. And it was an extremely painful but good and sound decision, he wasn't in pain, but he wasn't himself either. He was so drugged and sad. It killed me. But it was right.

Still to this day I will hold his collar and cry like a baby. He left me over 10 years ago. But I feel the pain just the same.

You have the ability to give him a gift- freedom from pain. And you gave him a wonderful home and so much love that he can go surrounded by it. What better way to die?

I am truly so very sorry. This breaks my heart. Hugs to you.

OMGosh Lora, I am so sorry. (((hugs))) I know how painful it is. Khan is one of the most beautiful dogs I have ever seen. You are doing right by him. I know it doesn't make it any easier.

I'm so very sorry to hear about Kahn. I pray you have the strength to do what needs to be done. When I had to take my baby it was the hardest thing I ever had to do.

Lora, I know what a terrible decision this is for you. I will not be having kids of my own, and my pets are my children. Putting my cat down a few years back was the hardest thing I have ever done, and some days it is still tough for me. I have his ashes still trying to decide the best place to scatter them, and a paw print that the vet did for me before he was cremated.

It sounds like you have been a great owner and have done all that you can. One thing to offer in case you haven't looked into it might be acupuncture. I used to work for a vet that began doing acupuncture while I was there. At first, we all thought she was off her rocker, but then we started to see the success she was having. It might be a last resort, and given his age, might not be a long term solution anyway.

I will certainly pray for you and Khan.
