I'm so sorry to hear this. XAge. His rear legs have been giving out and have slowly got worse. Today he can’t get up and is in pain. I’m sure the vet is going to say the kindest thing for him is the worst thing for us.
Have you tried CBD oil? That could give him some relief.

This is Max. Unfortunately I think we are most probably going to lose him tomorrow depending on what the vet says.
@RazorCut -- yes please try this before giving up on him!!
Hoping for a good update and better news for Max. This is brutal.
O Lord this is hard to write. For those that want to know.
It wasn't so much as give up on him but more it was his time. It has been a gradual process. It stared over a year ago when he started going to the loo in the house. Literally anywhere he was stood or sat. Not waiting for his walk. Then gradually the walks got shorter as they would tire him out. Then his rear legs started giving out on the way home so eventually the walks had to stop altogether. Two days ago his back legs failed completely. His front legs were fine.
He stayed in the same spot all day yesterday until the vet arrived.
Call me a coward but I’d didn’t want to be there at the end. It’s only been a couple of months since I’ve had to live through the experience of my mother dead on the living room floor. I didn’t want to see another close family member die. My daughter, two sons and wife were there. I’d spent a lot of the night with him increasing the meds until he was pain free and said my goodbyes that morning. My wife and daughter sat with him for several hours before the vet turned up. They confirmed our worst fears.
Going home was awful, the emptiness of not hearing his excited vocal greetings as he heard me drive up was somehow like the world had stopped. I sat in the vehicle for ages unable to get out and face the facts.
For anyone who says they can’t understand how you can get so attached to an animal as it’s not like a human all I can say to you is you have no idea and no heart. Having said that I know a big piece of mine is missing this morning.
So cute! Am I the only one who finds them alike?
So cute!
