Thanks. I bought a book specifically in this subject. There are lots of things to try. But my girl isn't really A typical. She's fine in the day. Just when it gets dark she becomes problematic.

Yes that's what it works out as. I can't afford that and to be honest it only last around three hours which means she will still wake up in the night. I'm trying her on a Cheaper med tonight. It's called trazadone. It's a syrup. I pray this one lasts longer. I need just one full nights sleep.

Well they are administering another one later today. I don't know the name. It's a syrup. And it's longer lasting apparently. Sileo was £30 for three doses. That's one night. So no way I can afford to keep her on that. I'll keep you posted. Thank you for replying. I feel all on my own with this.

No referral to cognitive dementia clinic. I cannot afford to pay and my insurance won't cover it.

Took her to vet. He's now given her some sileo gel. Supposed to be good to calm dogs on firework night. Well.... I gave her a small dose, it made her quiet and sleepy for about two hours. Then she was up again. So twice again at 3.45am and 5.15am. For half hour each time. I've been woken up this...

I've made an appointment with the vet. I'm going to ask for a referral to a cognitive dysfunctional clinic at the vet hospital. See if they can help in any way.

I've tried all sorts. I have definetely noticed that she becomes worse when it gets dark. We're all sat relaxing. She's up and down at the moment. Panting. She just won't settle. Yet all day we've had to keep her active. She's been too chilled if anything in the daylight. I just don't get it. We...

She sleeps in our room. She also has a double bed in the spare room she sleeps on too. But it's like she becomes obsessed. She just frets and wanders. But she doesn't do it all day when it's light. She has company as my husband stays up watching tv quite Late. So there is some background noise...

I posted a while ago about our 13 yr old cocker bitch. The fact that as soon as the dark comes she just starts wandering. Wanting to go out on the garden 100 time an evening. We feed her. We make sure she's had a walk. We go to bed around midnight and go fast asleep to be woken three or four...

She is almost like a naughty child. I say no firmly. She just looks at me. Then does it again. I think she enjoys doing it.

I bought her this. It's higher and supppsed to be easier for arthritic older dogs. She seems to like it at The moment and I don't think she will be able to tip this over. Who knows !

I might try a rubber bowl whic might stick to the floor !

But why would she be doing it ?

Is it absolutely necessary to walk at that time of day ? Do you need to go to work? Is that why ? Otherwise why not just let the dogs out for a quick wee early. Then take them when it's light and there are more people around and awake. I think it's risky to be walking in a field alone in the...

My 12 yr old cocker spaniel who I think has dementia has started going to her water bowl and frantically with both paws, likes she's digging paws out all the water. She is constantly soaking the floor. I have now resorted to only putting small amounts of water in the bowl. But she keeps doing...

Thank you. I'm just so tired and over tonight. I need some support

I am at the end of my tether. My almost 13 yr old Cocker spaniel has become so challenging. I adore her. I have pampered and looked after her all her life. I feel awful calling her challenging and I'm trying my absolute utmost to be patient with her. But I'm almost 60 years old and it's just...

Yes I thought your suggestions would be correct. It's so tough as they get older.

She's in her teens. But we got our girl when she was a young girl.
