Aww, I do understand. Lucy is our senior, rescue girl. She sounds very similar to your Fiona. She has canine dementia. The Anipryl has been very helpful, especially with the anxiety and pacing at night. We started her wearing diapers about 2 months ago. At first she hated them, but now she does not seem to mind. I buy regular baby diapers, and cut out a hole for her tail to fit through. She is also taking a very small amount of pain medication for her arthritis. It really does seem to help her to be able to settle down and sleep better. Lucy loves her walks too. I purchased a puppy stroller, and when she gets tired, she likes to ride. She also has a fleece lined sack (like a forward backpack) that we use on colder days. Aside from what you are already doing, I don't think there are too many other natural aids for you to try, though someone else here may have additional suggestions. Fiona sounds like she has been a wonderful long time companion and friend. You are being such a good mommy to her. God bless her sunset days together with you.
