Last Acupuncture Appointment / Disappointment

Samba had her 6th and last acupuncture appointment and I really did not see any positive results, other than fur growing back on her tail. She had rubbed off a portion of it since last year and it's been bare since. The holistic vet supported my decision to stop acupuncture treatment. Samba is getting weaker where even her front paws are not working too well. She often can't even prop herself upright when in a down position. I'm now grabbling with whether to go back for physical rehab at Scout's House. After all, she is 17 years old, and it's been an extremely costly venture both financially and time-wise to keep her going. I would like to try to give her some physical therapy at home with what I've learned, but finding the time away from my family responsibilities has been difficult. It especially has been hard the last couple of months as she is now not able to sleep when it is nighttime and my husband and are are sleep deprived. I think she has doggie dementia.

I made an orthopedic bed for her with a folded memory foam topper, but she doesn't seem to like staying on it. Since she usually acts up when it is bedtime, we have been having to put her outside in the garage so we can get some sleep. She eventually does fall asleep. I'm trying out melatonin to get her relaxed and "Senilife" to try to deal with her doggie dementia. I may also try DogtorRx / Humanofort. Sleep deprivation undermines everything I've been trying to do in dealing with her immobility.

Samba is not able to get up on her own due to her weak front paws, but once I get her up, she's able to walk around a little bit but will inevitably fall again. She's not able to use her wheel chair, and I may try to convert it to a quad. I wonder if all this is also too much for her.
