How do you know when it's time to euthanize your dog?

My family has a 13 year old toy poodle who has not been doing well for the past week or so. I thought I’d stick it out a few days to see how she’s doing, but she has not improved. Here are her symptoms:
– pacing
– hiding
– disorientation
– panting
– shaking
– heavy breathing
– fast heartbeat
– not eating
– not drinking

She looks very uncomfortable as she keeps switching between laying down and standing up. I cannot afford to take her to the vet for treatment, she is an old girl and I know there’s not much time left for her anyway. I think it might be time to put her down but my mom is very upset (as am I)... how do we know when it’s time?
