Sorry, I didn't realise. I thought you meant only her back legs were having a problem.

I have to agree here. Alot of people have an ill animal but don't get the animal put to sleep, because they don't want to let go or to have to miss it when it's gone. Of course it's hard letting go of a much loved pet, but I know for sure I would rather have my pet put to sleep to stop any suffering, rather than to just keep me company and save my heart from breaking. Jesus, as the owner you take FULL responsibility of the animals care and treatment. A pet can't always tell you it's in pain or just had enough, so we need to think for them sometimes. Bit different in humans ...

Sorry, but a disabled human compared to a disabled animal is completely different!! imo. At least a human can let you know when they have had enough or are in pain etc. What can your dog do exactly to tell you she's had enough? she's in pain? she's sad? she's depressed? she's just fed up? Yeah, she can whine... but not all dogs whine when in pain/sad or whatever, they go quiet and do nothing. Your dog doesn't have much choice but to do nothing, so how are you going to know what's going on with her?

You need to get your dog to a vet to see why your dog has suddenly started having problems with walking. You cannot just diagnose something like this yourself and say it's due to age. You really need to get your dog to a vet to get checked over properly and maybe go from there.

I don't mean to be rude. But I feel you are being unfair to your dog. If your dog can't walk at all sometimes, what sort of life is that? your dog is soiling itself, come on... think about it seriously please.

Irina, are you in the UK or Russia?
