Hi everyone,
My old lab Yukon has had arthritis in her spine for a couple of years. She takes Metacam for the pain although she has been limping steadily on her right front leg for the last 6 months. She still seems happy and usually has a good appetite.

Last night, I noticed she was having difficulty getting up off the floor. I helped her up and then noticed all of her legs were trembling and shaky. She walked like a drunken sailor (no offense to sailors!). This morning she is in the same shape so I'm taking her in to my vet for some acupuncture which has seemed to help her arthritis in the past.

I guess I'm worried that this is the beginning of the end for her. Does anyone have a similar experience? I am in the midst of moving and I know she's very sensitive and may just be reacting to my stress. I also worry that she is resistant to leaving this house where my husband (they were best friends) died a year ago. Am I crazy? Any advice or sharing your experience would be grateful.
Thanks
