Question
Hi,
Hope you can help us.  I have a 12 year old pomeranian and she has not been herself, at all, the past 2 days.  She is very lethargic and seems like she doesn't want to move.  When she does get up it seems her hind legs don't move very well.  She has never been spayed and seems to be in heat right now.  She will drink water occasionally but is not eating.  Any ideas?   Please help ASAP

Answer
Thanks for your question.  Well she is getting up there in age and if this has been going on for a couple day now i would get her to the vet asap.  It could be a neurologic problem or she just might be getting to old to function properly.  I would get her to the vet because of her age its not good to let her go through something that could be life altering.  Hope this helps.
