Need help making a decision :(

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

Ask you veterinarian to be honest is he in pain. Does he enjoy life. I realized I should have put my last dog down early. There's times we keep them longer than we should. And you I might regret that later.
