Thirteen, bloods clear, vet happy. She still takes the stairs one at a time now and sleeps through things she used to bark at. I know thirteen is thirteen. Just feels like something.
Not veterinary advice
Nobody here is your vet, and no vet reviews these posts. Community experience is genuinely useful for working out whether something is worth worrying about - but if your animal is unwell, in pain, or has stopped eating or drinking, call a vet rather than waiting for a reply.

Bloods do not show joints. If she is slower on stairs specifically, that is worth raising as its own question rather than filing under old age. There is a lot that can be done for comfort.

This was us exactly. Turned out to be her hips and she is a different dog now that it is managed.

I genuinely thought slow meant nothing could be done. Ringing them tomorrow.
