Question
Hi,

I'm not sure if you could help me or not but i figure asking to see if i can gain some knowledge about this would help. Anyways, our family dog, Lady, had been looking a bit funny, later on we noticed her, I guess temple bone was sticking out a bit more than the other, and now we've noticed that that whole side of her head is sunken in, and whats stranger is that she seems fine. She's 13 years old by the way, we're not the most financial well off ppl so taking her to the vet isn't an option unless she's suffering, and our only dissision would be to put her down, she's lived a good life. But my mums biggest conscern is that she's suffering and we don't know it, so any help would be a wonder.

Thanks :)

Answer
Hi Brianne,

Gee, I don't know what the cause of that could be, but it sure doesn't sound good.  If she is doing o.k.,  and your only option is to put her down, then I would let her live a comfortable life until (and if) something goes wrong.  She may end up being just fine, who knows?   I wish I could help you, but this has me stumped too!

God Bless,
Becky
