xLOBOx Posted January 3, 2023 Report Share Posted January 3, 2023 My baby Lobo is 13/14ish this year and is slowly starting a mental decline. He's forgotten potty training and will only go in one spot in the apartment, absolutely REFUSES to pee/mark or poo outside unless he cant hold it and the poo comes out. He's forgotten his basic commands "sit, shake, lay" and sometimes seems to not remember his name. Has anyone experienced a cognitive decline in their baby? If so, what did you do to help it? He's currently taking some "cognition bites" we ordered off Amazon and Chewy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfpup Posted January 3, 2023 Report Share Posted January 3, 2023 My old boy was a Utonagan (related breed) and he developed doggie dementia. Vet could do nothing so I started researching and used a few herbal treatments - cannot remember them all now but I know gotu kola was one,Ginseng, and another I believe was bacopa. My boy was incontinent, getting stuck in corners, having accidents, standing at the hinge side of doors etc. After around 2/3 months he was no longer getting stuck in corners but could work his way out of them again, but always stood at the wrong side of the door. He became more responsive to us - I believe we got him back around 40-50%. He lived another 12 months before dying of bone cancer at 15 years old (PTS a week after diagnosis). Look at a site called Annies Remedies on the internet - you can read up on the herbs there. Remember that any doseages will be for a 150 pound human and alter the amounts to your dog's weight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He gets stuck in corners and we have to make sure closets are kept shut so he doesn't lock himself in. I'll def look into Annies Remedies thank you so much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
