What do you do when you find out that your older animal is probably suffering from some kind of neurological breakdown?  How do you handle it?  The Vet gives you some medicine to boost their brain power, but how long do you wait before you decide it’s time for the inevitable?

I don’t know for sure, but I’m about to find out.  Yesterday (May 26, 2011) we found out that our older (almost 10), female Pit Bull is probably suffering from some kind of neurological breakdown.  Very rough, because we just had to put another dog down two months ago because she had cancer.  We were given some medicine that’s supposed to help her.  I’m not sure how long I can watch her deteriorate.  What would you do?  Would you give the medicine a chance, or just decide to put the dog down?
