pDoes this sound familiar to you? Here's my situation: My dog is 16 years old and doing pretty well considering. However, I have noticed a few of the telltale signs of dementia over the past year or so. She is not as responsive to commands as she used to be, but I also know for sure that she she is going deaf. She sometimes goes to the wrong sides of doors, but perhaps her vision is fading. Occasionally she has a urinary accident in the house, despite the fact that she has been perfect with housetraining since she was four months old. Yet, she has kidney disease, so maybe that's the reason she sometimes cannot hold her bladder. She does sleep a lot, sometimes paces and is generally less active, but what if that is simply due to her arthritis? The truth is, her symptoms are classic for all of her diseases AND for dementia. If I am being honest with myself, she is probably in the early stages of dementia. Yes, my dog is likely going senile./p...pa href=http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc#038;zu=http://dogs.about.com/b/2011/11/27/is-your-dog-going-senile.htmRead Full Post/a/p
