This article is timely. Our little Cleo who is almost 16 1/2 roams around the house much of her awake hours. When my wife and I gather in a bedroom or somewhere in the house together she will join us and sometimes lay down. It seems as if she is more comfortable when she is moving. We give her two tablets of carpofen each day. One early in the morning and one mid afternoon. It seems to take the edge off. When giving her other meds prescribed by the vet she basically has no mobility whatsoever and seems very out of it. I appreciate the wisdom and insights offered up here on this particular forum.

Amazing animals they are. We have had her since she was a pup. She has definitely been a handful but well worth it. She still seems to be very active and wants to run around a lot. Her hearing and eyesight are feeling as well and she cannot jump up onto the couch or I should say fly up onto the couch like she used to. She still seems to be very active and wants to roam around a lot. Her hearing and eyesight are failing as well and she cannot jump up onto the couch or I should say fly up onto the couch like she used to.
