Put his crate next to your bed, put a softly ticking clock in there and an old sweater/sweatshirt of yours as bedding. Then lay a blanket over the crate. I bet you he sleeps like a baby all night long!  Unless hes got an underlying problem, he is definately old enough to sleep through the night now. |
It's important to find out if the dog has liver problems. Water should not be withheld for liver compromised dogs ever. They need access to water at all times and should have access to pee whenever they get the urge because of the fact that many liver compromised dogs do have bladder problems.
