Question
What signs should I watch for in an American Pit Bull to see that she is still heaathy  at the age of 15 years old?

Answer
If she's lived to this age, she must be a wonderful dog. I would suggest having blood work done once a year just to keep an eye on things. Also have a fecal check done at least twice a year, more often if you live in a warm climate. Keep her in good weight.  If she shows any lameness, give her glucosomine supplements and that should be it.  I hope she continues to enjoy good health.
