My husband put Kobe down tonight. Kobe wouldn't stop pacing around the house and had excessive panting. We watched him for about an hour and then Todd said he was taking him in. It was obvious that he was in discomfort and something was going on.
I guess he didn't even ask the doctor to evaluate Kobe. We knew his problem(s) weren't going to get any better and it was time. He was still leaking urine after we increased his medicine and he fell down the stairs a few times.
I haven't said much to Todd about putting him down since I posted about it a few weeks ago so this was purely his decision. As I mentioned before, I've felt like it was time for quite awhile but it's still upsetting - we purchased Kobe together and took care of him for the last 11 years.
I'm sad and relieved at the same time. He wasn't the same dog and I think he was uncomfortable. I'm relieved that he's not suffering and we don't have to worry about that anymore.

I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry! It was the right thing to do, you couldn't let him suffer. I just wish we could keep them at that puppy (ish) stage at around 3. My condolences to you and your hubby.
Sorry to hear about this. :( I know that although he was not as much your dog as he was your hubby's that it's still not easy to lose a member of the family.
What a beautiful dog....I'm sorry to hear this. It's such a difficult decision to make, but a brave one. I hate to see animals suffer (or anyone).
So sorry about your sweet Kobe. Been there and it flat stinks.
I'm really sorry, Suzanne.
