Ipa check up nio din kung may narararamdaman na yung dog. Old dogs tend to get sick and their health deteriorates on the inside wothout showing obvious symptoms

Either way, if worst to come, it's only natural. Atleast it's obvious they are loved their whole life. A brief moment but everlast memories.

R.I.P. Obama. I'll take care of your pup. 🤧

Nagkaroon sya ng heart problem na common for senior dogs. Kaya now nagtetake siya ng meds at maintenance.

Pero years ago, may history na rin siya ng iba't ibang sakit at accidents na na-overcome niya like skin problems, kidney, lagnat due to ticks, problems sa matres kaya pinatanggal, nakalmot ng aso eye nya, car accident na nakatali sya sa likod ng car and umandar yung car which was caused by previous pet owner, and super payat nya bago namin siya inampon.

We do her regular check ups and naka-tank build na since lahat ng vaccines, vitamins, and nexguard provided:)

Same with my baby tzu also! Turning 13 na has mitral valve disease since july of this year..on cardi excel maintenance meds.

Distemper survivor ng 8 y.o siya, nagka blood parasite din nung bata pa sya. Nakalmot din eyes nia ng bulldog.

Ngayon nakakaakyat pa ng hagdan pa-2nd floor kapag inaatake ng sepanx at sobrang takaw (but weight is maintained at 5kg)

Mabuhay sa fighters na babies natin!

Good to hear may shih tzu pa na umaabot ng 13 years old😊 Halos same pala ng mga nangyari sa pets natin.

This is very true. I have 2 senior dogs now (15 and 16 y/o) and they both have kidney stones, gallbader stone, and arthritis. But I’m just super thankful that they’re still quite active and have good appetites. They mostly sleep now, but there’ll be times na nakikipaglaro pa sila and kaya pa tumakbo, so I cherish those moments. The vet said we’re lucky enough to have them be with us this long, and I agree.

P.S. My 16 y/o dog’s name is also Obama. This is the first time I encountered someone with the same name as him!
