Dogs: elderly poodle
Posted: Sun Jul 23, 2006 6:58 am
Hi, I am spencer's owner and BTW he is doing wonderful. He walks, runs, jumps, he has almost made a full recovery from his FCE.
I am writing for a friend that has an old poodle, 20 yrs old a rescue dog. He is definitely senile and stays up barking n pacing all nite n then sleeps all day. She has tried holistic meds, regular meds, clothes with her scent on it, sleeping with him etc. NOTHING seems to help. She is at her wit's end. she is a recovering cancer patient and I worry this is going to take its toll on her.
Does anyone have any other suggestions or know of any vets in the south florida area that specialize in geriatric dogs?
