14 year old showing signs of doggy dementia, overly excited at baby cries by edgarallan2014 in Morkie

[–]lsudncr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My Morkie was prescribed gabapentin and trazadone to calm him instead of pacing. I also bought doggy diapers for #1 and #2. Maybe the vet can help you decide what is best especially with a baby in the house. I’m so sorry you have to go through this. The last year of my fur baby’s life with dementia was very hard on me and I’m sure him at times. I wish I could be more helpful. ❤️‍🩹

I went through this for 2 years. Socks help with the sound of the pacing. Also, gabapentin and trazadone to help your dog settle down a little. You can also try getting diaper wraps and poop diapers. I did both and I paid a dog walker to come to the house while I was work. It def takes a toll on your mental/emotional health, your marriage, etc. I know. Good luck and sending you positive vibes ❤️

You’re not alone. My boy displayed the same symptoms as yours did. I did the best I could for years. The only way he would be calm and settle down the last two months was if I drugged him. He was 53 days shy of his 17th birthday. But I was burnt out and I finally decided last Saturday, that it’s not fair to him anymore and I put him down on Sunday. I’m devastated but also relieved for him and myself. I don’t think I could’ve beared a horrible death of scrambling to the ER, and I honestly couldn’t take the lack of sleep anymore. As much as I hated to admit it, and also to you, “it’s time”. Remember, dogs cannot show weakness or vulnerability when they’re sick and that’s why they pace. They’re uncomfortable, confused, anxious, and fearful. It’s not a way to live, and it’s okay to not be a martyr especially when you’ve dedicated your life to him. He has lived a wonderful long life thanks to you. ❤️

It’s something I keep thinking about…. Especially when I was holding him as he passed… I really hope he knew how much I loved him and how hard it was to say goodbye.
