Our gorgeous old dog is 14 now, and a big collie x huntaway.
He has slowed down a lot this year, but will still happily potter round the garden or a quick plod down the track. He still eats and drinks fine.
However over the last few weeks he is increasingly wobbly, and seems to be losing control of his bowels 😔 he has had an accident every day the last few days, and didn't even attempt to tell me he needed out tonight. He has very little muscletone now, and is on metacalm. He has perky moments, and doesn't seem in constant pain or distress, however sometimes he seems to wake early and pace round the kitchen, or yap until someone comes to see him. He has DDog 2 for company, so not really alone.
How did you know when it was time? Sometimes he looks sad, but other times he seems quite perky! Loss ofbowel control is worrying me though, and DH and I always said we didn't want him to suffer or struggle. Not as easy to make that call now we are here though 😕
