Our Basil was 14 on Saturday. He's suffering from inflammatory bowel disease which is (mostly) controlled with medication and old dog vestibula disease, which makes him unsteady on his feet but isn't too serious in itself.
Just recently the IBD flare ups have become more frequent - maybe once a week - this makes him miserable and results in bouts of diarrhea.
This morning he fell over on his walk a couple of time. The ODVD does make him wobbly but this was more like he didn't have the energy to lift his feet.
He's very old. He's very tired. But he's got a good appetite and he's still wagging.
How do you know when he's had enough? I would care for him forever, but I don't want him to suffer.
Any advice welcome. Thanks
