Sorry to hear about your dog. I can relate all too well with your situation.
I had a bulldog who was dear to my wife and I, like a child. We had her for six years before we had to put her down. She had nothing but health issues from day one but she was a happy dog. Eventually she was diagnosed with a rare skin disease. So rare amoung dogs that they do not know much about how to treat it. We had her on experimental meds for years. We spent way to much money in the 6 years we had her to try and keep her healthy with surgeries and meds. In the beginning she would be sick for a month and then seemed almost fine for a month, but after a few years she started to be sick all of the time. She wasn't herself anymore, and you could sense she was suffering. We eventually decided it was best to put her down, one of the hardest descisions we have had to make. I think it was the right descision, although we miss her dearly. You gotta do what is best for the dog and your family brother. We will definitley not be able to help you make your descision as it is a very personal one. I will keep you in my thoughts and wish your family the best.
