My poor girl is slowly drifting away. She's gone deaf in the past 6 months and now the vet has confirmed my worst fears.. heart failure and many other complications. We've had a massively tough year. Last August I left my H with the kids and a boot full of clothes. At that point we were unable to take the dog. Since we settled in our new forever home she's been with us but it became evident quite quickly she wasn't herself. Recall had vanished and she seemed confused - deafness likely cause. Then she started losing interest in play and now this 😢 it's been an awful day. I'd been saying to my stbxH she wasn't right and he kept talking me round saying she was old and it was to be expected blah blah. What I really needed was his support but more fool me. So I booked her in and went alone after the school run. I knew it would be bad news and now have to broach the subject with the children. Dog seems so slow and sleeps most of the time, I have no clue how long she can plod on like this or how much more she may deteriorate.. any advice?
