She is a girl.

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.

I suspect that’s what our Labrador had.
I had to lift him up and carry him about in the last year of his life. The vet had told me one day he wouldnt be able to stand and sure enough it happened. My boy used to bark whenever the door bell rang. On the day the vet came to the door he never barked. You sort of have to accept that if he had given up …it was time. Very sad.

Have to say we didn’t have another dog…couldn’t go through it all again.

Sorry to hear about your previous dog.  Very distressing to see them deteriorate before you in such a short period.

Hope that the new dog gives you much joy.
May Mika have a long and heathy life.

Mika (previous dog) actually lasted a long time - she started showing signs of strange leg movement 2 years ago and the disease progressed slowly so it was only about 3 months ago that she became totally immobile without help. It is all part of owning and caring for animals that the decision to let them go is taken - usually they tell you they have had enough and that didn't happen, she was bright, alert and playful until the last day when she struggled to breathe easily.

I still miss her even though Nico has been with us a whole week now! She is settling in well, is good to walk and very willing to learn.

Stayed at a horse/livery farm last week.  Oscar was recovering from surgery and isolated from the rest of the herd to avoid further aggravation to the injury.

No-one told Oscar to stay on terra firma and the grassed-over dung heap was too tempting.

The phrase "Get off your high horse" came to mind....... or maybe better "Get off, YOU high horse!"....but my favourite and more appropriate is Adrian's (farm owner) call to Oscar's owner.....Get your High Horse OFF!....or words to that effect.:lol:
