The Dog I. Have in my home is a member of my Family. It would be hard to put a member of my Family to be put to sleep cause he was Blind

Anti, the way you worded that was right on, I tried but fell short.

We had a Jack Russel that went blind she found her way around by hearing and sense of smell, you could tell she had memorized all the possible obstacles in the house and the yard so we made sure to leave everything in the sameplace. She would walk with us without a leash and if a car was coming would move onto the verge and of course with her sense of hearing she heard a car long before we did. Unfortunately she developed other problems in the following years and we had to have her put down. But until then she enjoyed life, dog's have a way of adapting.

The dog pound is worse, they stick them in trailer and gas bunch of them at a time. At the vet they put them in deep sleep [death]. Remember they can't tell you what they want or feel [pain]. Never ever feel bad about putting one down if needed. I give them a good life, take them to vet when sick, keep their shots up, but I can't stand to see one suffer. I would never let one suffer. Don't think of yourself, I know it's sad, but think of them.

Mike you are insane, put the poor things down 15 years for dogs is old. They don't have long left anyway. Don't think of yourself think of them. But your decision, they are only going to get worse. I have no problem putting my down when it's time. I wish humans had the same options.

and the choice should always be readily available!

Owner's choice.

I have had to put down several pets that were sick so they didn't suffer. We currently have an almost blind cat that my wife rescued as a teeny tiny kitten out of the road. It had to be bottle feed and keep in a warm area while it was growing and healing. During the daytime my wife kept the cat on her so her body heat would keep the kitten warm at night it slept in a box with a heating pad next to the bed. It is missing one complete eye and almost half of the other eye is covered by the inner eye lid that won't open all the way and the vet can't fix it. She is an indoor cat and has no problem getting around and we let her go outside with us to play in the yard and does pretty well out there as well but we don't leave her alone while outside.

IDK but when people don't want a dog anymore, they take the dog to the pound where they are killed. Is there a difference?

I would, I look at things this way, which is more humane, Whatever you have to live with the decision. I've known a lot of people that lets animals suffer too long. I think humans should have death centers when they get sick or just want to move on.

NO!!!!

I got 2 dogs both over 15 yes old both have severe rheumatoid arthritis in their legs ( they having a bad time) their going blind and hard of hearing. They're familiar with the area that they're in so they get around pretty good for right now. I can't see euthanizing a dog or anything because it's blind.

Should one have one's Dog Euthanized when one's Dog goes Blind ?

(I do not have such a dog and I'm not asking for a friend )
