We've had her thyroid checked and everything.. they think its a flea allergy.. but she's lost such a patch of hair.. its so bad.
she is pacing.. suddenly at 3am wants to go outside.. (she never wants to be out there) and i am thinking there is a level of dementia here..
i'm so afraid of them telling me they need to put her down .. she's my baby but I know the time will come.
thank you for responding

All skin issues are secondary to either allergies or some other disease state. What do you mean, exactly, by saying she has "skin issues" - please describe...? If she is starting to lose actual hair, then she should have her thyroid checked and Cushings should be ruled out.
Senior dogs can also pace/whine bc of age related confusion and dementia. In that case, meds can be helpful. |
