| Re: Senior Dog Walking?
our last rottie at 9-10yrs ran 2-3 miles with my wife at least three days per week until cancer developed in her toe (the dog not my wife).
We discovered the cancer after the her last run when she was out running for less than a few block and my wife stopped because the dog was limping. We didn't do anything with her for several days and then she started walking like she was drunk and would fall over as the texture of the ground would change ie; carpet to tile.
We brought her to the vet and he said there was a tumour pushing up against her spine. Prednisone took the wobble away and the dog wanted to run again. My wife would do short runs 3-5blocks. Shortly after her toe nail fell off and her toe started getting eaten away by the cancer. 6mo after that I put her to sleep. She was 11. |
