Je hebt al zoveel voor Tika gedaan, ik denk dat er nog maar 1 ding is wat je nog voor haar kan doen..
Wanneer ze geen waardig leven meer heeft ...dan is 't tijd....
Misschien heb je hier wat aan als richtlijn ? Ik ben bang dat Tika meer dan 8 punten heeft...

Recommendation Table
Total Points Action
1-3 Re-assess every 90 days
4-7 Re-assess every 30 days
8+ Euthanasia recommended
Many characteristics are not, by themselves, an indication for euthanasia. For example, stiffness and reduced interest in play have small numerical values. Adding the smaller values together may generate a score which is high enough to indicate the time has come to euthanize, or the score may only indicate that the pet should be re-evaluated periodically.
The Pain Assessment allows the human companion to estimate the amount of pain which a pet is experiencing. Unfortunately animals do not speak in human languages, so they cannot tell us in our language what amount of pain they are experiencing. As a result, the human companion must look for behavioral signs which are then interpreted as indicators of pain.

4 Avoids all but necessary activity such as eating or toileting
