When my Husky mix began to have pain from arthritis and meds didn't help I made the decision to do the humane thing. However my Vet suggested a steroid shot so I figured it couldn't hurt. It really helped him and I was able to enjoy him for a few more months. But sadly he eventually went down hill again and it became apparent he was ready to go. I've had to make the decisions 5 times in my 36 years of married life and it never gets easier. My best to you.View Thread
