[QUOTE="BloodiedButUnbowed, post: 735177, member: 13303"] It doesn't sound to me like your gal is ready to go - she's just getting older and experiencing some "doggie dementia" perhaps, and a very mild case at that. Think of us humans - I know I pee way more than I used to in my thirties! She may have a mild bladder infection. If so then the antibiotics will help her. As long as you can tolerate some potential potty accidents as she ages, I don't see any reason why this has to be the end of the road. I am a firm believer that our pets tell us when they are ready to move on to the rainbow bridge. From what you describe it doesn't sound like your dog is there yet. Enjoy every moment, because it's never enough. I have a fourteen year old cat who is in great health and due for her annual checkup soon. At her age it's nerve wracking, because you know eventually something will be wrong. The prayer is that the "something" can be fixed or managed for a length of time with good quality of life. Keep us posted! [/QUOTE]
