Just like the rest of the body, aging affects your dog’s
brain. As your dog ages, there is a
higher risk of developing neurological or cognitive disorders. This is because the brain is highly
susceptible to free radical damage (oxidative stress)
due to
its high oxygen use, high fat content and metabolic activity.
Free radicals are
reactive oxygen-containing byproducts of metabolism and can cause damage to
cell membranes. Damage to the brain’s cells can affect
your dog’s behavior, energy level and motor coordination.
Common age-related, neurological conditions seen in older dogs:
Canine cognitive dysfunction (doggie
dementia) or Sundowner’s syndrome is similar to Alzheimer’s in people. Small
changes in behavior and daily routine, such as sleeping more and seeming
disconnected, can progress to confusion, disorientation, anxiety, irritability
and disruption of the sleep/wake cycle.
Vestibular disease or “old dog
disease” is often confused with the symptoms of a brain tumor or stroke. Dogs
with these conditions may exhibit a loss of balance, uncontrolled eye movement,
and difficulty in standing and maintaining balance.
Dogs may exhibit motor coordination
issues as they age. Senior dogs that begin to stumble when they walk or those
that knuckle and scuff their paws may be showing signs of a neurological
condition.
