I've noticed over the years that dogs seem to reach that age much quicker than they used to.

Perhaps Flame will like the one to one walks. You could turn into her 'special' walk.
I agree with all of the above,

so sorry to hear flame is slowing down, huge hugs.

I'm sorry to read this Moobli. HUgs x

Biff can't go out anymore as he gets too sore and picks up any bug that is going.
I can't say he is totally pain free but he is certainly happy with life pottering around the house and garden. It felt awful initially leaving him at home,but it has given him more time, I am totally convinced of that as is the vet. Why not try not exercising her? Initially I thought that it would make Biff's joints worse as he would stiffen up, but he hasn't, he does as much as he can manage.

Big hugs it's awful to watch them xxx

oh Kirsty, I know how you must be feeling.

Particularly when the weather is nice, can you take her swimming? Kip used to love being in the water more and more - I think it was easier for him to move about and it meant that his muscles kept reasonably toned, though over the winter when he couldn't swim as much, he definitely got muscle wastage.

I guess that you didn't feel the hydrotherapy did much good?
