Blodwyn Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 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.

Patf Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard51 Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Similar problem with ours. Sleeps in the bedroom too. He is only 2 yrs old and from the Dogs Trust. Our previous dogs have done similar things.We put it down to them dreaming. Either nightmares or chasing rabbits! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blodwyn Posted November 29, 2017 Author Share Posted November 29, 2017 She does sleep in the bedroom, in her bed. We've had her 8 years and she's only started this behaviour in the last year, and she isn't deaf. She's much loved, but I could do with a decent night's sleep!
