Dizzy is a 16 year old female dog that has not been spayed and never had a litter. She has an enlarged vulva and her hind legs give out sometimes. She eats well and drinks routinely. Her urine is normal, no blood. When we gave her a bath yesterday she couldn't move her hind legs, especially the right one for about 10 minutes. But she wagged her tail and tried to walk around. She also had shortness of breath and kept caughing. I held her for the 15minutes and dried her hair with a towel and a low level blow dryer. What's wrong?

helen says:
she may have arthritis. this is quite common for dogs of her age. she is also prone to an infection in her uterus called pyometra due to her age. you may not see any discharge, but if she is off her food, drinking more and seems to have a temperature, take her to your vet
