Peace!

Any tips are appreciated! My pup turned 11 recently. I love him dearly and I lost my first bichon at 2 years old due to cancer, so losing my dog early always scares me. My boy is very active and loves running, but we have 3 floors in our home, and I’ve noticed his struggles going up the stairs since he’s tripped a couple of times. He also has issues jumping out of the shower tub now. I noticed him getting cataracts in his eyes, so I give him daily vitamins which helps. How can I keep him healthy? He slips a bit too sometimes.

Do any of your bichons do a strange thing where they’ll sniff the duvet intently almost like they are following a bug but then suddenly recoil like they’ve had an electric shock or they’ve found the bug - but there is never anything there? They’ll do it repeatedly and it is unnerving but funny too!
