I hope this may help you in your uncertainty: I had a terminally ill foster cat who lived more than a year beyond expectations. One day he just stopped eating and wouldn't take his meds, and that was his way of letting us know he wanted to go. He was thin and could not keep food down. He was suffering much more than he had been. But when I came home from work that day to take him into the vet, the poor little thing ran down the stairs to greet me as always. It broke my heart and of course I once again wondered if I was doing the right thing. But when I took him to the vet he left us almost immediately after the injection. The vet said that was a very strong indication that we had done the right thing and the kitty would have passed away on his own very soon had we not taken him in. I realize your pup is still eating well, but he is giving you other signs that he is very tired of the struggle.
Jack was a very lucky boy to have many happy years with you.
