Sorcha update

Feeling like I'm on doggie death-watch. Sorcha was doing pretty well up until this weekend. At which point she no longer wanted to go to the park and no longer wanted to eat. The only thing she'd eat was bacon, so I cooked up all the bacon I had and gave it all to her. Her hair is shedding out (unusual for her) and she is panting a lot, and whining some especially at night. She will still get up to go outside, if I make her. Walking seems OK but getting up and down to the ground is a bit difficult. The lack of appetite seems to me to be the worst problem. If she won't eat, I can't get the pain pills in her, plus she can't keep her strength up, etc.
I emailed the vet and asked about euthanasia. They will come to the house and do it. That option is more expensive (about 3 times so) but may be worth it? I'm not sure. I don't have much money but it would be less stressful on her not to have to go to the vet. It's so weird to think about scheduling such an appointment.
...and now she's eating some kibble, so who knows what tomorrow will bring?
