My 10 year old male was found on the side of the road, heartworms, worms, malnurished, etc. He stroked out a few times during heartworm treatment. I got him when he was 1 and while he's a LOT better about it, he was PETRIFIED of brooms and things like black flashlights. You could tell some asshole puppymill treated him like shit then dumped him because he had an undescended testicle and was sterile. Now he's paralyzed in his back legs due to a cyst on his spinal cord. My vet and I both agreed that since he's in no pain, there's no reason to put him through that kind of operation when he's 10. He just can't feel when he needs to poop, so I do a lot of cleaning up

My 13 year old was in better shape - got her when she was 4. She was an owner turn in and her mother (who was also turned in and is 15 now) was a show dog so she's actually the only one out of my 4 that's up to breed standards. She was being free fed in the garage though and was about 5 pounds overweight and could barely breathe. She's almost completely deaf now and has cataracts, but she's still a tummy rub slut ;)
