Poor thing.

That must be so rough for you, not knowing what is wrong.

I hope you can take some comfort in the fact that you are making a good choice by not allowing him to suffer. One of the most important parts of being a pet owner is making the choices your pet himself cannot make. When you know he is not going to get better, and he is not experiencing a good quality of life, the kindest thing you can do is end his pain for him in a gentle way.

It's a difficult thing to do, but it's the right thing.

think it is a good choice for him so that he does not suffer needlessly.

When you have tried a good vet and there is no answer, but you continue to see them decline, it's a unselfish owner that takes those steps to watch out for their pets best interest.
