My dog is sick :(

My dad called me last night to talk about my dog. He says she is lethargic and her feet and legs are swollen. (She still lives at my parents' house which is right in front of mine and my dad takes care of her since I've had the boys. She's an outside dog and it can be hard to get out with her and the boys at times.).
Anyway he says she doesn't get up to greet him anymore when he feeds her and doesn't even bother barking at the neighbor's dog, horse or cows anymore when she sees them. He thinks she has arthritis, plus she is about 13 years old. I'm going up call the vet today and see about taking her in but then I'm afraid I will have a tough decision to make. Keep me in your thoughts please. My last dog passed on his own and the one before that was hit by a car, I've never had to make the call on my dog's fate and I'm really torn about it.

Re: My dog is sick :(
I'm sorry to hear about your dog. I can't imagine having to make that decision. I'm sure I will have to make it one day though (with my two dogs). Let us know what the vet says. Your in my thougths!

Got pregnant on our own without Fertility Treatments - January 2016! Thank you snow storm Jonas!
EDD 10/15/16
At 20-week anatomy scan found IUGR (Intrauterine Growth Restriction), and very low Amniotic Fluid. Now, I'm High Risk and have weekly ultrasounds to monitor fluid and growth. If baby runs out of room or is too growth restricted, they will deliver ASAP. My current goal is to make it to 28 weeks!
