Dog yelping at night - why?

Our elderly dog keeps us a awake with sudden shrill yelping. She is sleeping in her bed and then often growls briefly before a piercing yelp. I worry she is in pain as she has lumps which are probably malignant. It's not arthritis as she does it when still. The vet gave us pills for her 'comportement' but they had no effect. She has a dicky heart so no op possible. The strange thing is, she never does it during the day.

We've had similar problems with our elderly dog. We think it's connected to the fact that she's gone very deaf.

Maybe they think they're protecting us when we're sleeping, and any little sound sets them off.

After a lot of trial and error we now get her to come and sleep on the floor of our bedroom, on an old duvet. Also leave doors open so she can go out if necessary.
