answered a question What can cause a dog to not want to eat and be lethargic?

After reviewing the details mentioned, I would say that this is strictly old age. If you've taken her to the vet multiple times and the doctors have said that everything is clear then it probably is. However, if you're unsatisfied with that take her to another vet to get a second opinion.

answered a question After a year of problem-free dosing, all of a sudden I can't get my senior dog to take her pills no matter how I try. Any ideas beyond the obvious?

Try putting the medicine in some whipped cream cheese. This always works for me when dogs don't take it with peanut butter or anything else. Hope this works!

asked a question What do I do if an old dog dies while in my care?

Obviously I would need to contact the owners or emergency contact and possibly a vet. But in what order? Should I contact the Rover hotline? This has not happened, but I have been looking after some very old dogs lately and want to know what to do just in case.
