Take the dog to a vet and get their opinion before doing anything. Earlier this year I had to put down my 16 standard poodle. She slowed down but still enjoyed life for a lot longer than I expected and when she started wheezing I knew it was her way of telling us she was ready. I took her to the vet to find out she had lung cancer and had fluid in her lungs. Ask the vet honestly what he/she thinks and describe the differences you have seen and they usually will give you an honest opinion. Losing a loyal pet is very hard I wish you and your pet the best.
