Pet's info: Dog | Staffordshire Bull Terrier | Male | neutered | 12 years and 2 months old
My staffie, jd, is 12 years old and on medication for arthritis, anti inflammatory and pain relief. However, since last night his tongue is very red. His breath is bad as well. Is it time to let him go? :(

Red tongue and bad breath are not necessarily a sign that he is close to the end, if he is otherwise fine i do not see an immediate reason to get to that conclusion. if he stops moving around or stops eating then it would be a different thing.
