My 9-year-old dog suddenly started wheezing, and when I took her to an emergency vet hospital, the vet recommended euthanasia without conducting a full examination due to financial constraints. The vet only used a stethoscope to listen to my dog's chest and said it sounded like heart failure or fluid in the lungs, but didn't know for sure what was wrong. Is it legal for a vet to decide on euthanasia based solely on a stethoscope check without a full examination, and what should I do to ensure this doesn't happen to others?

How can I determine if it’s IVDD or arthritis?
