My lovely black girl is always pleased to go for a walk - it could be ten minutes or ten miles - she trots along beside us and is generally fine. However, she has had a bout of Pancreatitis - not as bad as a previous one - and was only sick once and certainly didn't go off her food - but she never does. When the vet diagnosed this he also said he felt she had arthritis in her spine. At the weekend we took her on a really short walk - 15 minutes - and ended up having to carry her home - after about 10 minutes her tail went down and she slowed right down and then she just sat - it broke our hearts - since then we have only walked her over the road to a small pasture so that she can have a poo (she won't do it in our garden), and as soon as she's done what she needs to she just sits down and wants to come home? Perhaps I'm being over-sensitive but any comments would be appreciated - maybe she's just cold - she's ten years old. Thank you.
