Thank you so much for not judging me. I think I am doing the best by seeing a vet before taking the plunge straight to putting him down. I have very bad anxiety of how people think about me and my actions and feel very upset if people think bad of me.

I am not sure what to do and looking for some advice... My fur baby who turns 14 this year and he is a Husky x Kelpie bit my Mother in Law today.... this is not the first time he has bitten someone and drew blood it is actually 4th time. He bit her before but that was because she was picking up some food in front of him - he is food possive . He has bitten hubby protecting me we think in his mind. This last time there was nothing happening underlying the attack he was lying down on ground and she was bending down to him and he must have lunged. He does have issues with his teeth and last year we had to get some removed and the vet said he may need to get more out ... so wondering if this is the cause for the incident today. The hard thing is my bringing up my Dad always said once they draw blood you need to put them down but I can’t be that clinical but then he is getting on so maybe it should be time to let him go. He is my baby as I am unable to have my own children so needless to say he is spoilt. We have an appointment on Monday with the vet to discuss our options but my mother in law does not want us to put him down as he is a major part of our family. But then are we just making excuses for him... Hubby says not to put him down either but I feel they are both saying that out of respect for me... Over the last few years I have loss so many close family members and I think they think I will fall apart. I probably will but if he is hurting I have no right to make him stay to make me feel better. I need help.....
