Canine degenerative myelopathy is an inherited neurologic disease typically affecting dogs around eight years of age or older. It causes gradual muscle wasting and incoordination in the hind limbs, and then progresses to an inability to walk after six to twelve months.
In the end I was having to pick her up to move her and hold her over a bucket to wee - she was still bright and alert though - but it came to a point where it was starting to affect her breathing so the time came.
