Hi, everyone. Our poodle has degenerative myelopathy along with mild to moderate arthritis. Has anyone here dealt with DM?
My next question is about physical therapy. That's fine with us, but Chloe has super bad separation anxiety. She's also very noise phobic. She's been to one session of PT and she could not wait to get out of there. Would you continue PT with your poodle acting this way?
I don't want her last months of life full of stress and anxiousness. We are very torn. We do not want to be bad poodle parents in either direction.
Also, I should say she'll be 12 yrs old in February.
The siggy pic is very old and because of her phobias, her 'career' in agility was very short lived.
We would appreciate any advise we could get. Thank you very much.
