I hate to hear Tyson is struggling. The best person to advise you on his quality of life is the veterinarian who is most familiar with Tyson. Also, I recommend to keep a calendar at home. At the end of each day, mark if Tyson had a good day, bad day or mediocre day. This helps you to track the over-all trend. Here is a link with some good questions to ask yourself daily about Tyson: https://www.petcoach.co/article/the-decision-of-euthanizing-your-pet/ You may also speak with your vet if other medications could also be beneficial for Tyson like Gabapentin, Tramadol and a general joint supplement. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
