AN262 Behaviour - cognitive (CDS), confusion, restless, dementia, brain damage.
Code: AN262
5Many senior dogs are easy to spot by their increasingly grey or white muzzles, their slowness or unsteadiness as they rise from lying down, or their need to nap more often.
Physical signs of aging in dogs are easily recognizable, but behavior changes that also often occur aren't always as obvious. In an older dog with no history of behavior problems, the cause is typically either an underlying medical condition or cognitive decline. That's why if your dog's behavior is changing, it's time to make an appointment with your veterinarian for a senior wellness checkup.
Senior and geriatric patients should ideally see the vet 2 to 3 times a year, because after about age 8 (younger for large and giant breeds), a dog's wellness and nutritional needs can require fine-tuning every 4 to 6 months. In older pets it's also very important to review weight, muscle tone, joint range of motion, diet, supplement protocol, and exercise habits at least semi-annually.
Cognitive decline (CD) in an older dog is a diagnosis of exclusion, meaning all potential medical causes for a behavior change (more about this shortly) have been ruled out. Veterinarians sometimes use the acronym DISHA to evaluate cognitive dysfunction (CD) in a senior dog:
•Disorientation — Is the dog walking aimlessly about the house, staring at the walls, or even losing his balance and falling? The key here is that even when he's in his normal, familiar environment, he gets disoriented, for example, he goes out his doggy door to the backyard, and then seems to forget how to get back in. There can also be a loss of spatial awareness.
•Interactions — Is the dog interacting differently with family members or other pets in the home? This can involve sudden or increasing irritability or even aggression in a dog who's been friendly and social all her life. It can also take the form of withdrawal from family members and the features of daily life she was once very interested in, such as a knock at the door or the appearance of her leash, meaning she's about to get a walk.
•Sleep — Is the dog no longer sleeping through the night, or is restless or wakes frequently? Like many older people, senior dogs can experience changes in sleep patterns or even a disruption in circadian rhythms. Your dog may begin pacing at night instead of falling into a deep slumber as she once did. Some dogs even reverse their schedules entirely, doing during the daytime what they used to do at night and vice versa.
As animal age, they can be deficient in minerals that affect neurotransmitters (brain singles).
1. So to help the neurotransmitters add a supplement called GABA Capsules in each meal once a day.
Med to Large dog: Just 1/4 powder from capsule.
Small dog: 1/4 Toy dog or cat: add a pinch to meals - once a day.
* We use Now Foods, GABA, 500 mg, 100 Veg Capsules By Now Foods from iherb.com
2. Also, the gut is a second mini brain, therefore looking after digestion and gut flora is vitally important.
Probiotics and Colstrum powder supplement added to daily meals.
PROBIOTICS
There are many many different strengths and types of Probiotics. For example here are some of the ones we like below (as the whole family can take it also)
"ProBiotic 12 Powder" * 200 Billion CFU’s (brand - Seeking Health)
from SeekingHealth.com - USA or https://return2health.com.au - Australia
OR
"RAW Probiotics Ultimate Care" Capsules *100 Billion CFU’s (Band- Garden of Life).
The above from Garden of LIfe can be purchased at www.iherb.com
They are expensive, but they work the best I have ever tried. I have tried many and they just didn’t make a difference. Many of the Probiotics are very weak, these are all strong probiotics, so you don’t need much per day. If initially it upsets stomach, or loose stools, what works is to take a lower strength of a Probiotic for 2 weeks, then go back to the powerful one and all will be good,* Pets and whole family can take these.
It takes 2 months to fully restore gut flora.
and
COLOSTRUM
Colostrum powder or Vanilla-flavored colostrum milk chewable tablets (yummy)
Colostrumhealth 100% pure Colostrum Powder - Order online.
$30 USD per bottle * scroll down to get the chewable ones * yummy!
www.colostrum.gen.nz/best_colostrum.html
DOSAGE GUIDE - SMALL TO MEDIUM DOMESTIC PETS
Two or more a day chewable tabs for medium to larger pets. DOGS will take them from your hand as they are so tasty. Maybe for toy dog or cats use the powder in meals. Add to milk drinks and to meals ongoing but after one to two months you will see how much better digestion is and wellness. Or a good pinch of the Colostrum powder in felines and toy dogs meals and milk drinks twice or more a day if possible. Take ongoing.
LARGER ANIMALS AND PETS - DOUBLE the amount of Colostrum Powder for larger pets and farm animals. eg. calves, foals - add the powder to water and oral syringe or add with an herbal antibiotic in apple juice.Repeat up to 6 times a day if having gut issues.
3. Loss of brain dysfunction and digestive disturbances can be seen from years of continual toxins overload along with the added events causing acute or chronic stress or traumas in their life. We also suggest the all-important mineral Magnesium Glycinate powder to daily meals to help as a natural relaxant.
4. Detox and Liver Support
We highly recommend detoxing your pet, using Activated Charcoal powder and the homeopathic Chemical Detox 110 drops or Pet Cleanse 42 drops (if not had alot of drugs and chemical products) and Liver Detox 36 homeopathic formula (as congested liver affects brain as well. as pet ages many chemical drugs over their life have damaged liver)

* See if you can watch some YouTubes on "Ttouch - Linda Tellington (USA) is the founder of this method. It works so well. Calming etc
There are practitioners that can help you also if you google about people in your area etc OR its easy to learn yourself.

What I do for example: If I was needing to give herb treatments and/or vitamin supplements to feline or toy dog or other small animals – I add this herbal formula to a small bowl add some boiled water (about a teaspoon) to it so to dissolve the alcohol in it, let cool, then add what vitamins If needed (powder or crushed tab – a pinch) mixed in another 50ml of water, and oral syringe once a day or twice a day …smear on a little “vegemite paste” (if cannot get Vegemite in your country, try fresh pate or slippery elm powder added can help mask the taste) around and on tip of oral syringe, as felines seem to real like the taste of this paste, but not too much as it is quite a strong taste)
(c)“NUTRITIONAL Mix ” Giving vitamins and supplements (tablets or powders) Note: always crush tablet before adding to food or liquid mix. Felines or small animals: make up 1 cup of mixture, adding approx. a pinch of some type of Green powder (alkaline powder) or Chlorella powder (cleansing of toxins) or 1/4 Teaspoons of Slippery elm powder (to mask the taste) with 1 teaspoon of herbs if you are having to also give herbal medicines (i.e. brown liquid) Med to large animals: add twice to three times the amount.
DOSING: Feline or small animal: using an oral syringe draw up 1ml and gently small sips. Or add a teaspoon to meals if they don’t mind eating it with meals (mix well into food) Do not put in Fridge. Room temp is best as too cold is dislike by felines.
DOSING: Canine, equine, cow, sheep, goat: try mixing well into food and hand piece before feeding main meals. Or dose same as suggested for felines, but add three times as much herbal medicines and vitamins to 1/2 cup of water or (unsweetened) apple sauce or apple juice.
