The really unfortunate things about these precious little souls is they just dont outlive us.....what a wonderful thing you have been blessed with 15 years with your baby girl. I would also have thyroid checked, stumbling could be neuro or could be arthritis.....I just had a 12 year old completely checked out for the same type of symptoms.....afraid she was having strokes..... even had xrays done of spine and legs because of stumbling and refusing to get up and move....she checked out 100% fine.....just arthritis in her one shoulder and a hip. Started her on Glyco-Flex and within 2 days she was dancing and prancing around again.....I also changed her to senior canned RC, to make sure she is eating enough.....had teeth done to make sure there were no teeth issues....
I was so fearful I was going to have to put this baby down with some brain tumor or strokes or something....she is fine now and has stopped loosing any weight....have to watch that now because of the arthritis...it is better some weight is lost. I am so thankful her time with me is not over....I am praying for another 4-5 years at least.....but I have been forced to realize she is aging and her race is winding down.....and it is a really bitter reality for me to face..... |
