In late November, I started a three-part series on older pets. As veterinary medicine advances, our pets are living longer. That means more pet owners are dealing with the issues that come with age. Here is the next installment of the series, including some of the most common questions I get from pet owners.
Q: As my dog ages, are there mental changes I should look for?
Sometimes it is hard to tell if a new behavior is emotional, mental or physical in nature. For example, some older dogs may start to wander around the house and become easily lost or stuck in a corner. This may signal that the dog has a medical condition needing treatment, such as blindness or senility.
