My lapso\apso\poo drastically slowed down this past weekend. She is ten now, and checked frequently with our vet. All vaccinations, etc.
She hesitates for a very long time going up steps she has travelled a thousand times. I don't believe it is her sight, for we questioned this with our vet about a year ago pertaining to another issue. He said that a lot of dog owners are not aware of loss of sight in their dogs if they live in a home for a long time, for they adjust to their surroundings so well.
She laid down to eat on Saturday, and seemed to have a bit of a time getting up. She is not close to being overwieght and is very active for her age. This is very sudden, and she is smarter than some people I know!
She waits for me to turn around and pick her up the stairs! This puzzles me and I want to go away for a week, and leave her with my wife, but will feel very "guilty" if there is something going on.
She has always hung very close to me when she is sick, then to the vet we go, and she is "fixed" and life goes on! She is hanging pretty close right now but not too close!
Does anyone know what could be happening to the bright spot in my life?
P. S. We have her sister from the same litter, and she is fine!
