0-8 = Quality of life is not likely adequate. No medical intervention required yet, but guidance from your veterinarian may help identify the signs to look out for in the future. 9-16 = Quality of life is questionable and medical intervention is suggested. Your pet would benefit from veterinary oversight and guidance to evaluate his or her disease process. 17-36 = Quality of life is a definite concern. Changes will likely become more progressive and more severe. Veterinary guidance will help you better understand the end stages of your pet's disease process in order to make a more informed decision of whether to continue hospice care or elect peaceful euthanasia. What is your score?
