OK...We just took in a 10 year old female blue tick coonhound. Besides maintaning her weight, glucosamine/condrotin etc. for joints what other natural supplements or remedies do you give your senior dogs.
I ask this because all of my dogs are 6 years old and under, this is my first senior dog! She has been in a kennel with 80 other dogs and hunted all her life.
We took her out hunting a few times, only for one hour at a time, and she was a bit slow the next day. But she moves pretty good for a senior dog.
She has a vet appointment on monday...she is not spayed and she has what appear to be a few mammory tumors that I def. want to get checked out.
Another question...do you spay a dog at this age? Is it safe to put a dog under for this? Obviously I have no intentions of breeding her, I just want her last few years to be well loved and spoiled.
Just some other info...her teeth are beautiful, eyes look clear, no ear issues....any info on senior care would be very helpful! Thanks
