Jams,
Talk to your Vet. My shepard was like that so we took her to the vet and they gave her some pills. Worked great but after about 2 more years she was far enough downhill that we had to put her down. Old age is a b!tch.
Have your wife go to the vet with you and get his suggestion. After a while there is not much you can do.

Sorry, Terry
