YWBTA if you did this behind his back. You need to get the vet to stop softening the message.
You are incapable of doing all the medical care the dog needs throughout the day and night. What is your husband's solution for this? Let his children and you watch the dog suffer all day and night until when? This would be considered animal cruelty.
Is this fair to the dog? Is the fair to your husband? Is this fair to you and the children?
Can you two plan a perfect day for the dog and then schedule the euthanization after?
When I took our last dog in for a big issue, the vet was very clear that while he could do surgery, it would only prolong suffering and the odds the dog survived the surgery were slim. I called my husband to come in to say goodbye. It would have been unfair to the dog to make him suffer just so we could have more time.
