Morning,yes, I reckon you are correct
CCD. We had a toy a Phalene. He was almost 18 when PTS last January. He was doing the same things as your doggy. Worse at night,he would frantically bark while staring at nothing,then cry, shake,wee. We took him to our vet,(been using the same practice over 25 years, almost the same vet!) he prescribed a supplement first off, which didn't help,then meds, which were very expensive
Just a small amount because she said we would know very quickly if they helped, they didn't. We took turns to sit up with him at night for a year. He was eating....in fact a lot, because he forgot he had been fed,so night and day.still going for walks. We couldn't let him off the lead, because he followed other people, didn't recognise us!But, she said this was no indication of a good quality of life,he was very frightened. He had cataracts, and initially,we thought this was why he followed other people. He had done that for several years,he was still very fast! After this time,and chats to our vet, she said the fact he was being incontinent would upset him as well,we made the decision to have him PTS. It was heartbreaking, but we have him a fabulous life, spoilt rotten, slept on our bed for 17 years
Such a clever boy, when he had pooed because he had no oil or undercoat,he would jump in the bath and wait for a shower, would walk to me,then into the kitchen,stand by the water bowl if it needed filling. He had various different "chats" for what he wanted
.our previous dog (we've always had 2,he was actually a third) border collie was 17. She also had CCD,but it didn't upset her. She would stare into space,walk out the dog flap,in the door, over and over, but she got kidney failure, went downhill very quickly,so was PTS, she was 17.5. I know there was a post about this last year, and a few people found the meds worked for them. Good luck 🤞
