- Elderly people sometimes show signs of dementia, and the same can be true of our pets. Experts at UT's College of Veterinary Medicine say this is especially the case for older dogs, who exhibit what's called "cognitive dysfunction syndrome."

Make sure they can't wander off , that's how I lost my 17 Year old Lab mix, she got out and hasn't ever come back, and we are surrounded by woods. We had been out of town for about 5 hours before we could start looking for her, she has never been found. She was blind and senile. She had great physical stamina unfortunately. We have her pic on facebook, but, it is likely too late to get her back safely.
BTW, a dog that pee's it's bed MIGHT have help at stopping with D.E.S a hormone treatment that had helped my old dog, she did great on it for a couple of years before we lost her when she had gotten out and most likely kept pacing and wandering off.
Thank you for this helpful video. My 11 yr old chi mix has "spells" where she feels anxious and appears not to know where she is. She gets in a trance-like state and does strange things like holding one paw straight out for a few moments. I hold her, pet her, and speak softly to her as much as possible and this seems to calm her. Then she'll be her normal self for days, playing or curling up with me. I started crating her when I go out and she seems to prefer that now.
Glad that you found the video helpful!
My 15 year old Boston Terrier, Annie Greensprings, has been diagnosed with Cognitive Disfunction. She started early symptoms of wanting to be picked up and held which was unusual for her. Usually she cannot sit still that long and is very active. She also started greeting me with a GOOD MORNING message done in canine language, almost sounding like a sentence. She has gotten very clingy. She has trouble finding her way back into the house from our small fenced yard. In the house she walks in circles at times, and paces. Has problems finding her bed and her water and food dishes. Our Vet put her on a medicine that calms down some of the pacing. She drinks water and is eating very well, so that is good. She has had a few toilet accidents in the floor which is unusual. She is very loving and shows no signs of aggression. Her father, in later years, had what the Vet called a Vestibular Accident which he survived but was never the same. I wonder if there is a connection with Dementia.
Why anxiety is she barks....that's what dogs do...that is their voice...I love my dogs voice and the fact that she feels free to communicate with me. I'll miss that sound when she is gone...
If you don’t notice barking out of her norm, count your blessings.
My girl was just diagnosed with this condition today. She first started showing symptoms about two nights ago after she suffered a seizure. Ever since then, she's been a completely different pooch.
She has been prescribed Anipryl, for which I've read great reviews. I'm hopeful that we see improvement, because I want my fur baby to enjoy a good quality of life.
Try giving the poor gal CBD oil. It's not cheap, but in humans it causes neurogenesis (development of new connections between brain cells - a common cause of brain dysfunction in all animals)
If you do this, please please please reply to me or message me with the results. I'm very interested :)
ohhmanitscam Thanks. I'm looking into it now. Does it matter if it's from marijuana or hemp? The only thing that I can legally possess in my state is the CBD from hemp.
This was a good video
My dog had dementia finally had to put to sleep
What happens when my 11yr boxer has it and is becoming aggressive... Like shes big and lunged and if she wasnt tied Idk what would of happened she didn't recognize the other dog Idk... She attacked her didnt recognize me either and tried me for a moment.
our 6 year old boxer dog has these symptoms.
bandittweintraub I'm here because my 7 year old shep who is very smart is getting worse anxiety and seems confused and acts weird. Avoiding areas of the house, not recognizing us right away etc 😢
Why did you not mention the drug Anipryl???? It works wonders .
Thank you for this video. My dog is having problems. All I know to do is feed him right, take him for walks and rides, and love him to death...
this is very useful I had an aunt who had a dog and he got aggressive because no I'm thinking he might've had dementia because he kept snapping at my aunt and uncle and they put him down no I actually feel bad because now I know that watching this video no I know that they could've done something better to help them
THE DOG COULD BE IN PAIN. THE SYMPTOMS ARE SIMILAR AND THEY ALSO STARE AT WALLS AND GET TRAPPED. MY DOCHEUND HAD A BAD BACK AND COULDNT WALK GOOD. THE PAIN MADE HIM LILE THIS. HE ALSO HAD PROSTATE TUMOR. BLEEDING OUT THE URETHRA, ANTI INFLAMMATORY STOPPED THE EEDING BUT THEY NEED A STRONG PAIN RELIEVER . YOU MAY HAVE DIFFICULTY FINDING A VET THAT WILL RX A PAIN MED. THEY PREFER TO ANTI INFLAMM AS PAIN MEDS BUT THEY ARE NOT.
