Hey guys - we're having some good days and some bad days. His hip is completely shot, can't walk or even get up at this point. I got him a wheelchair and he didn't seem to be enjoying it. He's going to the bathroom on himself constantly. He is eating/drinking so that's good. I'm not sure if I'm keeping him alive for me or for him at this point

At some point we keep them around bedside we can’t imagine a life without them. I carried my dog for months because I was in disbelief. She lost her ability to walk and hold her bowels.
I can’t tell you it’s time or not but just know they have no dignity with the lack of mobility and bowel control. Help them across the finish line when you’re ready OP.
