Thank you. Oh dear my westie was 13 last week, hope she keeps going for some time as she is my companion.

According to PetPlanet...............

Lifespan
9 - 15 years
Westies normally live for 13 or 14 years, declining rapidly when the end is near.

My little westie is quite poorly, she has IBS and her back legs are not too good. She has to take a breathing tablet and2 steroids daily. I hope with the helpof my vet she has some way to go but gets very tired.
Thanks for your answers.

If she has IBS, are you able to give her food without additives eg James Wellbeloved?

Just remember to do right by the dog, dont let her suffer, when she no longer has a reasonable quality of life..................
