Our beautiful old boy is 13.5 yrs old and has really slowed down in recent months and is on painkillers & Yumove for his back legs. This morning his back legs totally gave way and he was really wobbly & his eyes rolled back. We thought we were loosing him. He’s now recovered and is walking OK (back legs are always wobbly). He had a fall at Christmas getting into my car and is now terrified so reluctant to traumatise him more by taking him to the vet. He’s eating and wagging his tail. I think we know his time might be coming but he’s so calm & gentle and uncomplaining & we worry so much that he’s in pain. He had blood tests in Sept which showed problems with his liver - we didn’t pursue after discussion with the vet due to his age. How do you know when the time is right? We love him so much x
