My dog is almost 17. She’s in fair health and quality of life is good. She seems to have some cognitive problems which I consider dementia. Shes gets stuck in certain places, zones out sometimes, wanders the house if things are not ‘right’ for her, has forgotten hand signals, and has accidents in the house regularly.
Can anything be done about this? I play with her every day, but since she’s just a pet, it’s impossible to determine how bad, or what to do. Anyone have ideas?
