Is my dog near death?

I’m sure this is a common question, but Darla is my first dog and I love her like a child. She’s 14 and been with us since she was 8 weeks old.

I’ve noticed her slowing down over the past six months or so. Over the past month, her hind legs occasionally started to give out on her and she hasn’t eaten very well either. This all accelerated quickly last night where she started having real issues standing.

I dreamt about it all night and was hoping she’d be better but as i type (it’s 6:40 am), her stability is even worse and she is trembling significantly. I will monitor her all day but not sure where I should take her to emergency care or wait until tomorrow when our vet opens.

I’m so scared. I just want to hold my baby girl.
