Hi Raven, We try as much as we can to move him around, but he is not very comfortable with that. I think it could be well a spinal problem.
We do take him in a basket and walk and drive around, whenever we can. We do keep him next to us when we move from room to room. The following are the links that I used to assess the situation: http://www.veterinarypracticenews.com/vet-practice-news-columns/bond-beyond/ quality-of-life-scale.aspx http://www.homevet.com/petcare/documents/quality.pdf http://www.allpetsmacomb.com/qualityoflife.html Rida From: Chihuahuas@yahoogroups.com [mailto:Chihuahuas@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Raven Sent: Sunday, December 04, 2011 8:14 PM To: Chihuahuas@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [Chihuahuas] Opinon: what to do with a very old Chihuahua > On the down side... He is bored all the time since he cannot move...He stays all day in the same place Are you home with him during the day or at work? Can you simulate him with toys, games, etc? Can you move him with you from room to room, as you move from room to room, at least as few days during his day? Put him in a doggie basket and move him with you when you are able to, this will make his mind work. Can you take him for walks??? I use baby stroller for my senior dog, Lucy. :O) Can you please share that questionnaire with the group?
