Hi My 14 year old Lab has bad arthritis in back legs and hip. He isn’t too bad during day on Galliprant. At night he wants to go out in the garden. The first time he goes to the toilet, the second time he just looks up at the stars. It’s hugely disruptive for him and me due to sleep loss. Does anyone here have this problem? He has an orthopaedic bed and thermal blankets. Also he sometimes has bowel accidents indoors. He’s a lovely dog so want to keep him going as long as possible .
Hi there. Sorry to hear your sleep is being so disturbed. I wonder if it might be time for a medication review with his vet perhaps? Hopefully they'll be able to help him feel more comfortable overnight.
