I am not an experienced owner, but i am posting anyways. Sorry.
I am very sorry for Cloud's condition. It seems like from all your posts that you love him dearly. From what i have read you have done everything you could to try and help him, and exhausted all resources for him. You are one of the few owners who would give up their housing for their pet, and that i believe is admiral.
Whatever your choice is i believe you and cloud have worked as hard as you could and that it will be the best decision for both of you.
Just as a side note: I had a dog named Tucker. Tucker was 16 years old and i knew him my whole life. He always had a bad hip. One day tucker went down to the lake by the break wall and stood there knee high in the water. He never went up to his stomach. He stood there for an hour looking at the lake. When he finally saw me watching him, he just looked up at me. I went down to the shore and picked him up and carried him to the Truck. He sat in the truck and hung his head out the window like he did when he was a puppy. When we got to the vet he looked at me again, licked my hand and we walked in. When i got to the room, and she put tucker to sleep he licked my hand and looked at me until he fell asleep. After she injected the euthenization chemical into him he suddenly awoke, licked my face as i cried and then passed.
Somehow i knew from him standing there that it was his time to go, and no one can tell you when that time is better than yourself.
I wish you good luck on whatever you choose, and i am sure cloud loves you no matter what and that he knows you want to help him as best as you can.
