My 90 year old mother lives in assisted living and is having chronic vertigo/dizziness with vomiting. She went to the hospital on Monday and was given every test known to man, all negative. Meds were reviewed and her Gabapentin dose was reduced. She is still dizzy and suddenly incontinent at night; wets the bed in spite of wearing briefs.
Caring For The Senior Collie. On average, Collies typically live 10 to 13 years, but many go well beyond the age of 13 and I have heard of a few Collies reaching 15 and beyond.Generally it is thought that the smaller the dog, the longer lived and the bigger the dog, the shorter lived. Just like with people, old age is relative.aring For The Senior Collie.

Larger dogs live shorter life spans in general so some bigger APBT's/bullies can have shorter life spans. Small dogs like breeds under 30lbs can live for a really long time, breeds like great Dane's have life spans around 7 years. Most dogs will average 10-13 years and APBT's tend to live longer than most dogs. You can go to several sources to find breed life spans but the one I found most reliable is 13-15. Most APBT's in my house and in my dogs lineage have long life spans of 14-16 years my bigger dogs tend to have spans of 10-12. So if they live a healthy life and are smaller the chances your dog will live longer increase.
