Okay, so my family has a 10 year old pomeranian mix (probably half bulldog, but thats just a guess) so the past year maybe. he's been changing a lot. hes always been tempermental, but its getting worse. he barks A LOT more and hes always barked a lot. and hes been coughing and hacking. hes always had siezures but they are getting worse. and hes loosing random patches of hair. we brought him to the vet and she said he has thyriod. we put him on meds but they didnt work and we dont want to pay for it. my parents are sick of him and he was my brothers dog and my bro is gone now. none of us really want to keep him. we dont want to give him away cuz hes just so mean and loud. we dont know what to do with him because we know our vet will be mad that we wont pay for more visits/meds, but we dont think its fair to him to have this cough and siezures and stuff. so should we put him down or let him be sick??

we arent mistreating him or anything. we give him all the attention and food and stuff he needs. and i play with him non stop and whenever i have time. it would hurt me so bad to put him down. i got him when i was like 6 so yeah its ganna hurt. he just a pain and my mom is sick of him biting people and me especially. no one needs a dog who bites. i forgot to mention that.

since the stuff you got from your current vet didn't work, i would try a second vet and see what they recommend before making the decision to put him down. he's obviously not happy with the current condition of things, but perhaps you just need to find the right medicine

He's probably sick and in pain. He's really not that old. So since none of you really like him (which is so very sad) perhaps you could contact Pomeranian rescue and let them take him. They'll spend the money to get him better and find him a loving home.

Maybe you can find a shelter that takes in old and sick dogs.

IF THE DOG IS SUFFERING AND YOU'RE NOT WILLING TO TAKE CARE OF IT, THEN I'D FIND A SHELTER OR PUT IT TO SLEEP.

you should give him to your brother who abandoned him so he can be vetted in his old age. shame on your whole family killing this old dog b/c you don't give a hoot.
