Why is my blind dog suddenly whining, having accidents, and sleeping all day?

Poor girl. I am not sure if this strictly behavioral due to old age and a bit of senility or if she has an underlying issue. It would be worth while getting her examined by your vet to have a health profile done via bloodwork to ensure everything is normal, especially since this behavior is happening in consecutive days. If she is having senility issues, then that can be addressed with medication (i.e. Reconcile) or with a prescription diet (ie Hill’s B/D). Another possible cause for sudden whimpering in older pets is arthritis. This can be helped with joint supplements (ie Dasuquin, Cosequin, Rejuvenate) in mild cases or prescription pain control medication (ie Rimadyl, Galliprant) through your vet in more moderate to severe cases. I hope that things are well for your pet Mimi moving forward! Take care.

Poor Jobin! It's hard to witness your pup crying and not know why. I recommend having Jobin see your vet to help rule out a medical cause for his behaviour. He may be in pain or nauseous, or may be suffering from canine cognitive dysfunction, which can lead to confusion and anxiety. See the link below for more details, and good luck! I hope your baby feels better soon! https://veterinarypartner.vin.com/default.aspx?pid=19239&id=4952637

Star needs to see the veterinarian. It’s possible these symptoms are all connected by a disease like diabetes or renal disease. It’s also possible these are separate diseases processes. Your veterinarian will need to run some bloodwork and a urinalysis to look for underlying causes. Try to get her seen quickly as the prognosis is generally better with earlier treatment. I hope she starts feeling better quickly and please feel free to post any additional questions.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! The runny nose may be due to an upper respiratory infection. This warrants a visit to the veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. If they agree this is likely they may prescribe antibiotics. Crying may be a sign of discomfort and your veterinarian can also check on that. Best of luck!

I would recommend that Blaiser be examined by a vet. The symptoms you have mentioned could certainly be behavioral (sudden accidents in the house, only eating when you are near), but the wobbly appearance could indicate an internal medical illness, cancer, or neurologic disease. After a thorough physical exam, the vet may perform a neurologic exam to pick up on any subtle neurologic deficiencies. The vet may also recommend bloodwork to look for anemia, infection, liver or kidney disease, or electrolyte imbalances, all of which could cause symptoms such as you have described.

It probably is because Leela is losing her sight. That can be upsetting for a dog, and it does take time for them to adjust to sight loss. Given that you pick her up and take her into her bed, she knows that by crying out to you, you will help her.

Your question unfortunately got cut off but I have a few ideas based on what I can read. It is possible this is an arthritis flare up or some other painful event (spinal stroke, Embolism, slipped disk, or other). It is also possible he is recovering from a seizure- which can result in abnormal Behavior for up to a day. There are also neurological diseases and infectious diseases that can cause weakness and odd behavior. Take Casper to your local vet who can likely help narrow down the problem with a good physical and neurological exam and can prescribe pain medication if needed.
