Our Maggie will be 17 in December and these last few months have been trying, actually almost since vacation in April we have seen a decline. A bit more hearing loss, some days just won't eat or will eat one meal and not the next. Sometimes she loves some thing at one meal and not the next so it's a matter of having several things on hand that I know she likes. Zak's breeder suggested dogsure and baby rice cereal which have both been a godsend.
She sleeps most all day, some days she is restless and goes in circles then finally lays down.
She is just a bag of bones and has lost all her muscle mass, but still manages to get up and down and sometimes needs a pick up. We do have her walk around the yard to get some sunshine. Zak is really good with her and realizes she can't play anymore. He checks on her often.
It is a blessing to have her but some days it is a challange.
