    There are meds for canine arthritis which do help the dog feel more comfortable. Perhaps that would help? Does Rockee seem more comfortable sitting on soft beds than on the floor? Most older dogs will gravitate to a cushiony base.

    Prayers for Rockee, and for you and your family.

    Can you get her to the vet for a visit? Maybe she just needs a dosage adjustment for the arthritis. Good thoughts headed your way....

    If she is fed separately, getting some healthy weight loss food from the vet would really help ease her pain as well.

    I bet that alone would give her more time, and healthier time at that.

    Alicia, I hope everything is okay with Rockee. I know how hard it is to see them age. I really hope it isn't her time. ((hugs))

    First of all I did not like the vet at all.
    As soon as he came in the room I don't know I just got a weird vibe from him.

    He used all the vet technical terms and assumed us to understand and said she needs a urine test and blood test and didn't even give us the option to say no he just told us and then sent her in the back room. He said she may have kidney problems because she pees ALOT, like Thunder but she doesnt pee herself or inside. I really don't think it was nessicary to have a urine sample because the blood test could tell if she had kidney problems.

    He will get the results in tomorrow and will call us.
    So nothing has been done but we are changing to a different vet (same clinic though). The vet we want is super nice and not all about the money. She's very down to earth and honest. I really like her as a vet.
