[quote=Anonymous]We are visiting my parents’ house for the week and our 14 year old labradoodle is with us. He has been here before but only like once a year so I would say it is an unfamiliar setting for him.

He is acting unusual in the evenings - whining and howling, and pacing around the house sniffing everything. When he is in this state he doesn’t respond to our calls to him or our attempts to pet and comfort him.

Tonight he made a BM on the kitchen floor, in our presence so like he didn’t even know it was wrong (and we just had walked him). Historically he has never had accidents, even when sick (my mother who is very quick to judge even has said he is not acting like himself).

Other times in the day he’s acting great - happy, snuggly, enjoying walks and hanging in the yard. He doesn’t otherwise seem ill or in bad spirits.

I am very worried about him and would appreciate any thoughts or ideas of what may be going on. It has crosses my mind as to whether this is dog dementia, but it came on so suddenly and dramatically which is not how I have read it typically presents. Also it seems triggered by being in my parents’ house? [/quote]
