I feel the same way about seniors pups. They are so precious.

My Toby is turning 16 on October 8th. Steak dinner for him that night. He has the standard ailments. Going deaf, cataracts, knee pops out every once in a while so he limps. He has had a problem with osmosis. Another problem with stone. He was losing protein and blowing up like a balloon. He is on a special dog food for his diet, prednisone for the protein problem, and polycitrate for the stones. But believe it or not he is in absolutely great shape.

dcapper so glad to have you and Toby as members.

We are really going to Celebrate in October, he is the oldest. Steak Dinner for everyone.lol

A few problems but at 15 going on 16 what dog wouldn't. So glad to hear it's not keeping him from enjoying a dogs life.

Welcome. I'll pm you in October when I put the post on 'Off Topic" I have one going up in September in a couple days.....I will let you all know when that one is up too.

Attention Everyone, We are having a party for the OLDEST yorkie in our group here and maybe the oldest on YT. The thread is in the general yorkie discussion forum and the Title is " WooHoo, You are invited to a party" Stop by and wish him a happy B.D.

crystalsmom · 09-15-2007, 07:45 PM

I went through this entire thread but I know there was a Sept. Birthday that we should celebrate. Please let me know if I missed you.

I am so sorry but I have some very sad news for those that have not seen the thread already. One of our little senior members has died and it is Yorkiedaze's Delsi. If you could take the time to go to the Memorial forum and offer your condolences I'm sure it would be appreciated. I know this a difficult thing to do for some of you who have very sick dogs so don't feel you have to do this. A prayer for them would be wonderful and Yorkiedaze would certainly understand.
God Bless

Zippy - My sister's dog
15 - 10/30/92
since puppy
Male
At around age 7 he crushed a disc in his back, had the surgery and walks with a limp. Since then his limp has gotten progressively worse along with nerve loss, and loss of muscle mass in his back half. Also he experiences incontinence problems with poopy and pee pee. Zippy is now mostly blind and according to the vet can see shapes but no definition, has dental disease, and has some hearing loss.

Zippy's medications are Metacam for the pain in his back.
Proin for the incontinence - but still wears a diaper for occassional drips.
Glucosamine - for his back and joints.

Even with all his problems he still acts (or tries to act) like an exuberant puppy.

crystalsmom · 09-16-2007, 05:30 AM

Welcome to you and Zippy. That certainly is a ripe old age and I too have heard so many people say with senior yorkies that if not most of the time they at least have moments when they are exactly like a pup. People will say to me so often "I thought she was a puppy"

Again welcome!!!

Rascal 01 · 09-17-2007, 04:34 AM

crystalsmom · 09-17-2007, 04:45 AM

crystalsmom · 09-17-2007, 07:36 AM

crystalsmom · 09-19-2007, 05:27 AM

Good Morning All You Wonderful Senior Dogs and Owners

It's been rather quiet here, hope you are doing well

Does Anyone Else Have A Dog With A November Birthday??

grayxie sisters dog Zippy was 15 the day before Halloween and Sidney's Cujo is 15 Wed. . (what she posted here was incorrect) I will start a B.D thread for them on Wednesday so do let me know if there are others.

Wednesday I'll let you know what forum I put the thread on and the Title.

Can you believe two 15yr olds....that really is wonderful.
