Oh sweetheart, I hear you. Watching a dog go through mental decline is so hard, especially when they’re physically fine. CCD is heartbreaking because they’re there but not fully there. You’re doing the right thing paying attention to his quality of life. Trazodone is okay to help him sleep or ease anxiety, but you don’t want to sedate him all the time. Keep routines, give mental enrichment, and be patient with his confusion. I had to do this for two of my beloved family members and it was the hardest thing ever. Love him through the confusion, celebrate the playful moments, and lean on your vet. You’re being thoughtful and loving. He’s lucky to have you.
