I think my senior guy has Alzheimer's. Going to the vet today.
Advertisements [?]
Last week....two different nights I got up and he was standing in the dark in the living room. Then this weekend he kept pacing or standing all day. And the poor thing has arthritis but it was like he just couldn't sit down. So last night I gave him a tranquilizer and he finally slept. This morning he was out in the back yard licking a concrete brick for about 1/2 hour.

I know he is real old, (17 years) but I hate to see him suffer. We have an appointment at 2:30 today. I hope the vet can help him.

Duke is the guy I got last December from a rescue. His people were an old couple and the wife died and the husband was going into an assisted living facility.

Any good vibes for Duke would be really appreciated.

This is a picture from when I first brought him home.
