He is coming to the end of his life now. He has difficulty hearing and seeing. Walking, of late has become a problem too. His back legs give way. He also has some sort of neurological problem. We are trying a few new meds to help him but I fear that it is time to let him go. We will miss him dearly. Mickey is 19 years and 3 months. Mickey has very little eyesight due to cataracts, however, his hearing is still good and he understands when I tell him it is time to go night-night.

My Bichon JJ was 16 in Feb We live in Ireland and are just back from a weeekend at the coast where he slept on the beach every day. She has a back problem, she also has cataracts, is hard of hearing, and has trouble with her hind legs which sometimes is a problem for her to go in and out of the doggie door.
I still take her for her grooming every 5 weeks and to the Vet on a regular basis, and she takes quite of bit of medication. She has her own medical plan at the Vets. Lately she has been having accidents near her doggie door which I think is because of the loss of muscles in her hind legs.
