Here is a small section from my book on Senior Pet Help:
SIGNS
Your pet sleeps much more and plays less. He has a graying muzzle,
poorer hearing and poorer vision. You may see cataracts. He may
show abnormal signs, such as pacing, excessive panting, and barking at the wall.
CAUSES
Your dog is considered a senior when past the age of seven. Most
cats are not considered seniors until the age of 10. Older pets
have natural organ changes: eyes often develop cataracts; the bones of the middle ear often fuse, resulting in lowered hearing; joints lose their soft cartilage covering, resulting in arthritis; and the brain can age, resulting in signs of senility.
SOLUTIONS
MELATONIN. Frequently used for older pets that have trouble getting to sleep and pace at night. For dogs, give 50 ug per lb of body weight given 1 hr before bedtime and on an empty stomach. Try it for 2 weeks to assess if it is working.
PHOSPHATIDYLSERINE. A supplement used in people with cognitive
dysfunction. Give 50 mg daily per 10 lbs of body weight.
ACETYL-L-CARNITINE. This is used in people with Alzheimer's. The
dog dose is 10 mg per lb of body weight twice daily.
ANTIOXIDANTS. Of them all, Vitamin E appears to be most important
in maintaining healthy brain function and delaying further loss of
brain tissue; give 100 IU of Vitamin E per 10 lbs of body weight.
An antioxidant combination (Vitamin E, Vitamin C, and Selenium) may be most effective.
SENIOR'S DIET. Place your pet on a commercial senior's diet. It
will be easier to digest, lower in protein so easier on the
kidneys, lower fat to keep weight down, and probably contain added
glucosamine to help arthritis. Hills produces a specific brain
diet for cognitive dysfunction which is high in antioxidants and
L-carnitine.
GLUCOSAMINE. The most important supplement for arthritis,
Glucosamine HCL (as opposed to Glucosamine Sulphate) is the best:
dogs should get 1/4 of a 500 mg tablet per 10 lbs of body weight
daily, cats need 1/4 of a 500 mg tablet daily.
P.S. My Ultimate Canine and Ultimate Feline Health Formulas are making a BIG difference for hundreds of senior pets.
