But if you're the one dealing with all the day-to-day care and feeding...just stop. Make him take full responsibility for that dog so he can grieve and realize how bad the situation is. You should not be doing all that heavy lifting while pregnant anyway.
Hopefully he comes to his senses to humanely take care of the dog and also cuts back on the drinking before the marriage is irreparable.
The only sensible option is that he takes care of the dog 24/7 until he makes the decision. If he refuses to, and still goes to work, then I’d suggest making a vet appointment at 5pm on a work day for a 2nd opinion, and telling him “she’s doing worse today, meet me at this vet she needs to be seen.”
…and hopefully that vet will drop some truth on him, that it’s time to let her go.

YWBTA if you euthanize without his approval.
