NoHope, I hate to tell you this but this is the way that it goes with animals. Like I said before you don't really know how they are feeling until it gets really bad. It seems to happen overnight but it hasn't. My Bonnie was OK one day and the next she couldn't climb the stairs. I can't possibly guide you in this journey but I have been there before. Torn as what to do with another being's life. It all comes down to Nina's quality of life, there will come a time when she will tell you when she is ready to go. I am crying as I write this as I have been there too.

Hugs,

Hope
