Hi and welcome to Your Own Vet Blog. This is the place for you to give us your experiences and thoughts on animal health and behavior.

This month we are dealing with older pets, specifically geriatric pets. Because they cannot tell us if they are feeling bad or good, it is always difficult to decide if your elderly pet is having a good quality of life or not.  At what point do we decide that it is time to put a pet to sleep and how have you come to that difficult decision?
