 Help for our 14 year old Yorkie
Up until very recently Sammie has been a very happy and healthy little guy. About 2 months ago, just as he was turning 14 years of age, we moved to a different house. During this time he seems to be going downhill fast.
He's experiencing pee accidents, which never happened before, lots of pacing around, licking his lips constantly. His eating and drinking seem stable, he sleeps well. But he appears to be confused part of the time, doesn't respond to familiar commands, and in general seems somewhat anxious.
Our veterinarian attributes these changes to dementia, and last week prescribed Anipryl, Melactin, and the Hill Diet. So far we see no improvement, only continuing deterioration. Does it take some time for these meds to start to work?
It feels like our little boy is slipping away from us a little more each day, and we are very concerned about him. We know his age is against him, but we're hoping something will kick in to give him a little more time with us
If any of you have had experience with this, please share with us.
Thank you,
Sammies Dad |
