Forgive me for being naive but can dogs ( mutts ) live much longer than 12 - 14 yrs and be healthy and happy? I know some people will spend a fortune to keep a dog alive ( and today I finally understand that logic (a bit) ) but is just more or less pressuring the dog at the pint to stay alive. Obviously I don't want to lose him but more importantly I don't him to suffer due to our decisions. I know I'm going on and on but frick this sucks. This is my first , and only dog , as an adult and this is killing me. Thanks for listening/reading.

Might be treatable. If you can afford it, do the X-rays and bloodwork. If it comes back as the worst case scenario at least you'll know you did everything you could.

Dogs that age can also go through a bad spell and recover.
