My heart goes out to you. Our little girl had subtle changes in her behavior starting at age fifteen but they worsened as she aged. The pacing and anxiety at night was awful for her. Anipryll was not a miraculous cure, but it helped her a lot. Ashley loved being held close to our bodies. We walked a few miles each day until a couple of days before she passed away close to her seventeenth birthday. Most of the time she walked, but at times I carried her and eld her close as we walked. It helped ease her anxiety. My vet felt she was still very responsive with us, and her quality of life was still good. Ashley needed 24 hour attention because of the problem with depth perception and getting lost in corners, but we would not have missed a moment with her.
This is a long thread, but there are a lot of ideas shared that I wish I knew about when caring for Ashley. I wish you many more happy moments with Sammie and hope the Aniprl helps a lot. If I can help in any way, please let me know.
