Hi. I’m hoping this is the right subreddit to ask about this. I have a Yorkie that is currently 10 years old and turning 11 next month. Recently we’ve observed some small changes in his behavior, the most notable of which I have read online is an early sign of dementia. We took him to the vet last year and he did say that our Yorkie could be getting a bit senile but there was no official dementia diagnosis.
The behavior we’ve noticed is that recently, and it’s actually pretty rare but it’s never happened until about 6 months ago, is he will randomly start peeing as he walks in the house. Most of the time he tells us when he needs to go but sometimes we will just see a trail of pee.
I know you can probably consider an almost 11 year old Yorkie to be a senior dog (correct me if I’m wrong) but is this a sign of worse to come? Thank you for any help or advice.
