Pawspice And Animal Oncology Consultation Service – Veterinarian In Hermosa Beach, CA USA :: Quality of Life Scale

Anyone who’s wondered about whether it’s time to put down their pet has probably tried to figure out how to measure quality of life. I found this resource which gives you a quantifiable way of tracking how your pet is doing, it guides you how to rate how your pet is doing in seven categories – hurt, hunger, hydration, hygiene, happiness, mobility, more good days than bad days. I find this more useful than ‘you’ll know when it’s time’ as it’s completely impossible for me to be objective about this. Maybe when it’s time I will know, but until then this helps me to know it’s not time yet.

I know this is an upsetting topic and I’ve tried to tag everything people might have blacklisted, if I’ve missed anything or there’s anything else I post you’d like tagged differently let me know and I’ll do my best.

As you all know I love Daniel and will do pretty much anything for him, but I have to draw the line somewhere.

I will not sit here holding my arm up because he’s decided he likes using my sleeve as a hammock
