I have just brought some Activate to try as i have heard some really good things about it.
Zac does have cataracts and a chronic eye infection from the rhinitis but his meds keep it in check, he is also going deaf but he can hear if i shout.
Best way to tell how old a dog is by its teeth but as yorkies suffer from bad teeth most at zac or nikki's age dont have many left, zac has 3.
I had to have all Nikki's teeth pulled as they were so rotted when I met him 18 months ago. Nikki is getting up during the night and wandering a bit. Also, he seems to have no concept of where sound is coming from. I can call him and he will run right by me, or look all over and I will be sitting right by him.
As long he is in no pain I feel he is still enjoying life.
