My aunts dog Checkers really needs help to the RB. He can barely walk, much less stand or get up after sitting or lying down. SHe doesn't know how to say good-bye, and if she doesn't do this before winter, he will pass on

If the vets don't tell you it is time, then I think that it is all right! I would really watch for signs of pain, or if the dog gets peg-legged...

Good Luck!-Steph and Jes
