It will be VERY hard that day. I am not being selfish at all "I keep asking myself that question daily", it is just that she is alert and eating. right now she is in here laying next to my feet while I'm typing this. It is hard to watch their bodies fail. 14 is very old for your dog RIP, wow! I guess I will do process of elimination with the meds. Rimadyl is not an option at this point. It has so far had the worse side effects for her. I think they all react differently. Day by day and a lots of love. My girl also plays me, she will act like she is not eating until I leave the room. Good talking with you
