I am taking care of a 15-16 year old miniature schnauzer with a large, oozing lesion on his shoulder, trembling, hard abdomen with fatty lumps, frequent whining and grunting, difficulty holding his bladder, anxiety, pacing, and disorientation. The owner has given consent for euthanasia if necessary. How do I assess whether it's time to euthanize him, considering his advanced age and the potential for improving his quality of life through veterinary care, which is financially challenging?
