He is bored all the time since he cannot move...........Do you give him any toys to play with or a Kong
stuffed with peanut or treats. Or something to chew on?
- He stays all day in the same place........Do you ever picked him to move him to a different place. I'm sure if you do a
web search for handicap dogs you could find a cart for his back legs.
Blessings for taking care of him.

Subject: RE: [Chihuahuas] Opinon: what to do with a very old Chihuahua
Thank you very much for the advice. On the positive side:
- He is alert
- He eats very well
- He is happy when around us
- He is not in pain
On the down side
- He is on diapers but we keep him clean
- He is bored all the time since he cannot move
- He stays all day in the same place
Someone sent me a questionnaire today about quality
of life for dogs. He was borderline, So we think we will be happy to keep taking care of him.

Is he happy? Is he in pain? Is his bottom raw from the accidents and are you using diapers?
Are you keeping him around for you? Or is is quality of life...still good?
There are many handicapped dogs that are living full enriched lives. Late into their senior years.
If you dog is happy, alert, pain free and still shows a will to live, and you are prepared to continued to provide him with your time, care, food, water, clean his bottom and love. Then I see nothing wrong with allowing him to live.
I know someone who has a handicapped doxie, they need to express his bladder and bowels. He's a happy little dog, loves life and he is loved.
I try to care for my animals as best as I can to ensure that they have a life with quality.

Do what is in the best interest of your little guy.
