Doggy Dementia
A few months back we started Flora on segeline and it seemed like a miracle, 24hours later and there was a great improvement and it continued every day. Several days later maybe a week she was maybe 80 to 90% better in evening and pacing at 5am had stopped too. Fast forward to two weeks ago and it seems to have completely stopped working and her dementia symptoms are fully returned. It coincided with us returning from holiday l and it takes her a couple of days to get back to normal. She has always suffered with separation anxiety to the point that we can't go for dinner or to the supermarket without taking her with us(we have a dog pram so that we can take her with us) . It was easier when our other dog was here and they stayed at the house together and also before our children flew the nest. So before we left for vacation a few weeks back we noted that she was like a new dog, connected, spring in her step etc. When we returned she was distant, flapping her ears and doing all the dementia things. She has had xray, lungs, bloods, ultra sound, thyroid. All clear, slightly elevated liver. Suffers IVDD & arthritis. Vet checked her ears and teeth for possible causes of ear flapping and couldn't see anything immediately obvious. I read one other thread about somebody saying segeline worked quickly for their dog, I am wondering if in these rare cases it can stop just as quick. She is on Librela for IVDD, trazadone and Pregablin have given her extreme side effects so we are limited on those options. I suppose I am just confused, I'm not sure what do or think next. We use two vets, one is a hospital that has all the specialists that confer on her and the other is really for getting the jabs and advice. She is 15.5 SWD from Cadiz Spain. We will be going back to the vet hospital after we have watched her for a few days and we can tell them more.
