Pennie - my 15 year old dog

UPDATE/Pennies visit to the Blue Cross.

Earlier today I gave Pennie a bath ,no easy task then set off for her check-up at the Blue Cross.The vet only confirmed what I already knew -shes living on borrowed time.Pennie was given a thorough examination ,vet said she appeared well cared for and happy enough.I was given some dog shampoo so I can wash her as often as I can ,every otherday should do.With her coat being white laying on the kitchen floor and sometimes on her food discolours it,giving her a neglected look.
I was also prescribed a course of antibiotics for her mouth infection along with painkillers and something to help control her bladder.Shes not eating dog food so I have to buy her fresh meat every day or chicken breasts.She will eat sardines,pilchards in brine or oil plus the odd tin of tuna.Getting her to eat the pills is the problem she pushes them to the side of the dish.I just have to make sure she is hungry when its time for her pills and also that its something she enjoys.
