My feeling is when the dog has no more good things it enjoys in its life then it may be time to part with it. I'm willing to put up with inconvenience or the expense of meds to make the dog feel better but I think its unfair if the dog has little or nothing good in its life anymore to keep it just to make myself feel better.
However it may be you would see a big change in your senior pet with some meds for arthritis and perhaps diabetes or Cushings disease either of which might be the eating and drinking issue.
For getting her attention a laser pointer with the light on the floor in front of her might work.
Do find out from the vet what her real problems are and see if you can help them. After that is the time to consider other options.
Hope this helps you!
