The vet that we used for an at-home euthanasia for one of our cats has a "Quality of Life Assessment" on their website. It's a list of normal activities for pets, and how owners can judge whether the pet's quality of life is impacted. Inability to control elimination is one of the factors. You might share this with your friend.
