There has been no change otherwise.
She still wont or cant walk.
She can stand on her wobbly legs for a moment and then lays down again...
Now my ancient dog is acting strange, too. Peeing all over himself and the house.

Oh, no!
People say animals are such a comfort and that's true.
But they're also a whole shedfull of stress.

I would talk to your vet. That can be one of the "normal" signs of an aging dog or something as simple as a bladder infection or other issues that pop up when our pets get older. All pretty easy to rectify (one of our older dogs had to wear a pull up while inside. His memory was failing and he would simply forget how to take himself out.) Regardless, it is hard to see our pets getting older. I cannot imagine my life without a dog or two (or three, as the case may be today.)

He takes meds for a heart problem and I was told a few years ago that he might start peeing a lot.. It has begun.
At fifteen years old, I don't want to ad to or change anything about his medications. I'm just happy to still have him.

What a cutie... :) Luckily, a small dog can't pee much. :rolleyes:
Best of luck for Bertha and Whiz!

If he ever has that look on his face, start looking around the house because he DID something.
Bertha sees the vet in the morning so maybe I'll have more news. (and even less money) If she lives. I'm changing her name. Something fitting with the millions I've spend trying to save her.
Chester ha s a vet appointment closer to the house an hour later.

Hmmmm.
A name for something that costs a fortune, you love very much, but also is annoying because it doesn't respond?
wifey.

Best wishes to you at the vet. I admire your determination and dedication to your animals. I am hoping for the outcome you desire.
