[quote=Anonymous]Is the incontinence pee or poop?  If it’s pee, I’d put a diaper on her.  When you say quality of life not good, does she still enjoy meals and pets?  Is she in pain?  Our golden had a lot of issues his last couple years — his mobility was bad.  But he still loved to eat and seemed happy to just lie around near us and not get up much.  There’s a big difference between that and a dog who is just miserable all the time.  When your husband is home is he spending time with her?  I’m wondering if he doesn’t realize she is unhappy.  I’d start there, if you really think she’s unhappy.

The expensive food is, I think, just par for the course.  There might be some cheaper options if it’s really a hardship.  Like maybe on the weekend your husband could make a big pot of brown rice with pumpkin or green beans or carrots and ground turkey.  If you buy the large family quantities you can get turkey for pretty cheap and you can just cook it in a slow cooker or big pot and freeze portion.  [/quote]
