How old is she? Have you had her checked by a vet lately? One of the hardest things about owning a pet is making the decision if they need to be put down. Don't try to buy her time, you are only going to make her suffer if she is really doing that bad. Please talk to your vet. Get their professional opinion and then make your personal decision. Best of luck and lots of prayers to you.

Are her joints actually dislocating and you have to manually put them back for her, or is it a general giving way.
There is something in Oz, called Sashas blend, that people swear by for arthritic dogs, it is a natural formula that improves joint mobility.
I have seen it work on a friends labrador.

I love my labs.

its been about 2 weeks since i posted, and i think the reason she has been falling a lot is because we used a polish on the wood floors which was making it hard for her. she really hates going down the steps because i guess she has no traction, my other dog can't go down them either.she is better now, she is not in pain at all, she never was in pain.she is just living life to its fullest. I have had to put dogs down beofre because of old age..and its no where near time to do that. as a matter of fact right now she is walking around my office with a bone in her mouth. ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)

Great news. I guess when we all get older things look bleaker. Good to hear that all is well.
