French bulldog severe breathing: When to consider euthanasia?

Question

My French bulldog has terrible breathing issues that get worse in warm weather we had the op to open her nose and shorten soft pallet but it’s not helped we feel it may be coming close to time for her to be put to sleep do you think we are thinking correctly she’s sick almost everyday after eating and really does struggle day to day.

Wow, what a terrible position for you to be in with Coco! Unfortunately breathing issues can be very common in brachycephalic breeds like French bulldogs due to the shape of their face. Without seeing her in person, I can't say for certain if letting her go is the best option, so I recommend a consultation with her vet. It would be good to discuss with the vet who has treated her to see if there is anything else you can do to help her with the issues. If there is not and you truly feel that she is struggling daily, then letting her go peacefully may be the best option. First speak with your vet, though. I hope this helps!
