Callie is going on 15 years and vaccination are due next month she is deaf and halfway blind and pees everywhere she is a house dog and well taken care of her vaccinations are due next month but she has heart worm prevention med for a year I love her its been me and her the last 10 yrs I see
her health regress daily So have yall been this position cause I'm thinking about skipping the shots.

She is an inside dog, yep I would.

I don't envy your scenario , very tough . As long as the dog is not in pain --- let her live a " happy retirement " .
We had a similar issue , my oldest dog was 16 , my wife and I talked about all the what if's . Took her in for a haircut at her groomers --- she had a heart attack and died .
Probably a blessing we didn't have to put her down ---super hard .

I would definitely consider the rabies vaccination, regardless if she's an inside dog, or not...unless she does not exit the home to use the restroom. Preema was 17 years and 4 months when she died and she was current on her vaccinations and heartworm meds. Oreo is now 16 and a couple of months...now, she is current on all her vaccinations and I have enough heartworm preventative to get her through 17 months. She has very tiny veins and I will not have her tested again, because she cried out in pain and they had to draw blood 3 times to get it. Her momma used to be the guinea pig for that one because she had good veins. Oreo does not. She will, however, always be up to date on her rabies.

Yeah I decided to make an appointment with the Vet. explain my position and go from there thanks for the input

I’d pass , we just lost Fergi our 12 year old Corgi we made her last month more miserable by letting them biopsy a lump we all knew was bad.

Now if I could have the new puppy’s piranha teeth removed

Thanks Tilt so you got a new pup that's another decision

Rabies titers last at least three years and possibly lifetime. Skip all the shots, love on that dog until she's done being a dog

Good luck with whatever you decide. It’s a tough decision but we don’t want them to suffer so we don’t. Our little one isn’t too far behind yours.

Sorry your going thru this Bud My Sausage Dawgs are my bud's!!! Standard has been Sick, but he's coming around....

I know first hand what you are going through. I had to make decisions that I didn't want make but it was best for them, not for me. You just know when its time. And, you'll see them again and it will be a great reunion!

Thanks everyone it's just tough

Tough post to read, but some awesome wisdom shared here. Save your money and buy that pup a steak dinner or two!

I have a 16 year old bassett, has bad hips, bad vision, his hearing is getting worse everyday. But his sniffer works very well when i am eating something. Haven’t been getting shots in 2 years. He is an inside dog and have a chain link fenced in yard so he can’t get out. And yes he has many accidents in the house that I don’t think he can control, (never used to do that). I think it’s just a matter of time. It will be a sad day when that day comes. Good luck.

Sausage dogs. now that's funny.
