Hi there,
Baxter is getting up there in years (not sure exactly how old he is but vet´s guess is 12, going on 13) and for the first time is starting to show his age a bit. Twice now he has gotten wobbly, basically looked like he was drunk. It went away after a bit. I googled and it looks like the oh so technically named "old dog syndrome"--I also talked to the vet and he said just to keep an eye on it and bring him in if it gets worse or doesn't go away fairly quickly. Anyway, I was wondering what other issues your senior dogs have dealt with and if you did anything special for their care as they got old. (He has been lumpy with cysts and fatty deposits since I adopted him at age 9(ish) but they are all benign and don´t bother him a bit).
