    Milk thistle and sam-E help counteract the Deramax. But at her age and condition, it may not make much of a difference.

    I suggest someone always be with her, too. Suppose she had fallen off the bridge into the water? 2 of my older dogs did this, neithr one was able to coordinate well enough to get her head above water. Fortunately I was right there to lift her up, and then get her out of the water. (The 2 dogs, they were 15 years apart, both were females).

    Yes, she shouldn't be outside alone for sure. That creek is very dangerous for her. I'll mention that, she'd never survive a fall in there.

    My Grandson recently had to put his dog dog down. She had cancer and was at the point where she did not enjoy life anymore. We had a hard time taking care of her at the end, but did not want to let her go. If your Aunt and Uncle want to take care of their dog and it is not in pain then I would let them enjoy her as long as possible.

  5. I was in the same boat not too long ago. i wanted my beloved Kirby to pass at home on his own,, but i was in a battle with myself asking myself when is the right time. how will i know when the time is right an is it the right thing to do? but when i seen him slump down as if saying 'do i have to?' when i opened the door for him to go outside to do his business i knew then that his aches an pains were to great for him to enjoy much of beans anymore. the drive down he slept the whole way as if knowing hed be at peace soon.

    im sorry. i know how hard it is an just how very much it sucks.
    many hugs to you an everyone

    Aww, thanks for the input. Asia is hanging in there. She still enjoys her food and treats and loving belly rubs. Aunty and Uncle are not rushing into anything, they want her to pass at home and she has all the meds and comforts. unless something changes, that is where it stands now. SO very hard to deal with our elders sometimes. It is scary, but I agree they should love her and care for her until they decide different. She's so much a member of our family.
