For the last 1.5 of her life I slept in my home office so she could be closer to me, I can only offer my personal experience. Good luck, I hope the homéopathie works for you and your lil guy.

Our seniors will break our hearts.....I think what is said here is right on target.....I have lived through this over the last several years, as my precious dogs age and then pass......it breaks my heart and I also sleep where ever I have to sleep, in order to accommodate the needs of this precious little dog that has devoted every fiber of it's being, to exist in my life, wanting nothing in return other than to be loved and nurtured and cared for by me. I have to admit, I have problems getting up and down on a make shift bed on the floor, "just to make a dog happy"(some of my family that do not know me as well as others, think I am crazy doing this "for a dog", but my close family knows and understand me and if I ever did NOT do things like this for my babies, these family members would look at ME for what was wrong with MY health!!).
I think this is what is happening to your precious little soul.....and as sight and hearing diminish, this little man is now dependent on YOU and your strength and devotion to him, to keep him safe and secure.....he needs YOU now, he is frightened by these changes in his own self, and I think his needs will graciously and lovingly be met by you.....what a lovely crew you have!! Best wishes to you and your crew....you are getting into the most difficult part of loving these precious souls.....remember his devotion and care and love he has had for YOU all these years, and now, it is your turn to reflect all that back onto him!
