What should I do about my 12 year old Chinese Sharpei, should I put him down due to health problems?

The final answer lies in your pet's quality of life. Is he happy? Does he still eat and drink?

If his dental issues are causing him pain and he's unable to eat, then you can either have the dental work done or put him down so he doesn't have to suffer. Working in an emergency hospital, if an owner can't afford a surgery to prevent suffering, then euthanasia is the only answer. Other than finding your pet another home where the owner can afford to treat.

At 12 years old, if you can't afford the dental work and your dog is in pain/unhappy, then euthanasia would be the right decision.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
