Knowing when it's time to say goodbye to a beloved pet is, without question, the most difficult decision for any pet owner. The key has always been to put aside our own feelings and focus on what's best for the pet.
Cushing's is not a fatal disease, and a pet usually is in no pain. The disease, especially if untreated, can lead to kidney disease and infections, which can lead to death, but the risks are greatly reduced when the disease is diagnosed early and treated.
The average lifespan of a dog with Cushing's is only two years, so if your daughter's dog has had the diagnosis for many years, that's a sign she is being well cared for.
While her life is definitely different, it seems she still is happy. I mean, I can't do the things I used to, but I'm still pretty content.
