We took in our neighbours terriers a couple of months ago when they became unable to look after them. Initially everything's perfect. I am SAHM so dogs get plenty interaction and we love them.
The older one, in the past 3 weeks has really changed. She's scared to go out at night, wees upstairs, shakes most if the time and has become quite forlorn. Two nights ago she hid under a bush in the dark and we spent hours searching for her.
I took her to vets. He thought urinary tract infection and gave us antiInflammatory meds. She has no urgency but goes upstairs to pee, we think it's something neurological partly because of the shaking. Partly because we can tell she's scared of the dark. She suddenly seems v old and anxious.
Any ideas? We're thinking dog dementia but surely 9 is far too young?
