She still cries a lot even after we (hopefully) cleared up her urinary tract infection.

I started Glucosamine, it helps her a bit but she is definitely older than we thought she was. My late pug Winston lived to 15 years old but developed dementia in his last 3 years. He would walk in circles, stand by walls, want to go out then come right back in and couldn't sleep through the night. He also started to go blind which I didn't really notice until he started to bump into things more. Could Dakota be losing his sight or maybe his hearing?Rain https://www.blogger.com/profile/14377719049819222133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1276547385680284997.post-65557962039819803762018-09-20T04:44:53.955-07:002018-09-20T04:44:53.955-07:00I am so sorry, I have been posting about these sam...I am so sorry, I have been posting about these same symptons in Jake, he will be 13 in Jan. it will only get worse, plus Jake is almost blind and only hears loud noises, so watch for that. Jake today has been up since 2 am, pacing and panting, it is 7:43 and he just laid down with help on to the sofa. I am leaving for my meeting so gave him a GNC calming treat, beef flavor, Amazon or PetSmart. I give him one at bed time and we get 4 to 6 hours of sleep. nothing helps. I do the same thing you do, get on the sofa but even that has stopped. he gets stuck in tight places and can't find us because he forgets where we are. it is heart breaking. I am telling you all of this because you need to know what is coming. he has been like this for 2 months, but started like Dakota is now in May of this year.
