I started treating my dog, and it turned out he has stage three kidney failure and seizures, the cause of which no one knows. I admitted him to the hospital, first to one, then we went to a nephrologist and transferred him to another. On the first day, he had a seizure and cardiac arrest, but they revived him. I visited him today; he's lethargic. I wanted to take him for a walk, but maybe his blood pressure is low from the IV fluids, and he doesn't want to walk. I picked him up, but he refuses food, drinks little, and urinates little. His blood work today isn't great. They say he's unstable, his tests aren't good, and no one knows how much time he has left. They insist he should be hospitalized for two weeks, which is very expensive. Today, he even fell asleep on the chair next to me, resting his muzzle. How can I euthanize him? He's unstable and could go at any moment, but he's not in pain. They said if I take him home, they'll give me a treatment plan: injections to support his kidneys, painkillers, and heart medication. I can't bring myself to euthanize him, and I could take him home, but what if he dies in front of my child? How will my child react? What if it deeply affects their psyche? I'm just full of doubts. My mom said to leave him there to be euthanized. A friend would take him home. I have no one else to consult. This dog is deeply loved by me; we've been together for 13.5 years. I'm his whole world. He even whimpered when I left; he's just my mama's boy. My heart is breaking 💔. I've been living these days with hope.
My dog started having seizures: he'd fall onto his side, paws forward, whimper, then pee, and then c…

If he's not in pain, I'd take him home.

I think he'll be better off at home. He always asked to come home and didn't want to go to the hospital.

If it doesn't hurt, take them home and care for them as best you can. The dog will also be calmer if their loved ones are nearby when the time comes.

Take him home in this case. Since there's no pain. And then see how he's doing.

Talk to your son and explain everything honestly. The clearer you explain what's happening, the more likely he is to understand. The only thing is, think about what to do if (when) he crosses the rainbow bridge. Where to take him, etc. Who knows how long he'll live. In this situation, he should definitely come home with you.

Take it home, talk to your child about it. Animals are a responsibility, you can't shield them from everything. On the contrary, it will teach them compassion.
