Sally Is Getting Old :-( Not Really A Question
37 Answers
She'll be 11 ( I think )later this year, and she is suddenly really slowing down. She appears to be stiff when she gets off the sofa. A distance that took 15 minutes to walk a few months ago, now takes 30+ minutes. That's if she even wants to bother. It looks like I need to reign in my desire for a brisk walk, and just let her mosey along. She also seems to daydream...stopping and staring off into the distance, taking little notice of me encouraging her along.

Pasta. So sorry to hear this news about, Sally. My post above was just before I decided that old Toby had suffered enough.

This is the list of Toby’s symptoms that I took with me to the vets.
He actually asked if he could photocopy them for his files, as they were quite an accurate account, he thought.
I hope the picture works.

I remember that post chrissa. I've been through that with the lurcher my ex and I had.
Fortunately, Sally is still fond of her food, and pesters me for her treats. We had a nice but slow walk tonight. It's hard getting her going, but I keep encouraging her until I can take her lead off and she can meander along. She even play-bowed with a Westie that wanted to run circles around her. She's certainly still interested in what's going on around her.
I will watch her over the next week or 2, then I'll take her to the vets.

Taking into account her breed I take it that she has soft bed.
If your vet is into alternative treatment they might even have a hydrotherapy pool.

This is Frankie's vet - they do acupuncture too.
Frankie will be 14 this year and has kidney failure - he is still bouncy and doesn't seem to have stopped howling at the moon and chasing shadows.

pasta, Tilly is thirteen now and is very creaky and awkward in the morning when she wakes up. She has Metacam, and Pardale and they seem tos suit her as, ten minutes into her morning walk she perks up. She also goes to hydrotherapy once a week and that is helping to maintain her muscles.
It's hard watching your little friend struggling but as long as they are eating and responding to cuddles, strokes and play instigation, they're fine. When they stop responding to anything, is the time to consider helping them out of their misery.
Good luck x
