We have a few rabbits and once when they had offspring, one of the little buggers was heavily ill. We went to the vet so often that he was almost ashamed of taking our money. We hoped we could get it healthy again. One day the vet suggested we should put it to sleep. We chose to wait. That night it died in screaming pain. My mother still cringes when she thinks of it.
What I want to say is that if your dog is in serious pain for a long time and looking forward to a painful death, trust your vet and put him to sleep.
Of course I hope your dog gets healthy again. I know how painful that is. It's also this feeling of helplessness. All you can do is go to a good vet (better: two) and do all the necessary tests.
