Moving with my senior with CCD
My sweet, sweet senior boy is 16! As expected with his age, he has been slowing down, and is showing signs of CCD. This includes some disorientation, sundowning, and most importantly anxiety when we leave the house. He cries if we are in the car longer than 15 minutes, and gets very anxious in new places.
The problem is that we will be moving in a few weeks. I’ve been able to take him to the new place a few times, but he’s incredibly stressed every time and starts pacing around. I brought him one of his beds, and tried giving him treats and a lick mat (he’s always been extremely food motivated). He’ll eat everything but then just starts pacing again.
Have any of you moved with a dog like this, or have any tips? I’m hoping once my room is set up it’ll feel more familiar and safe, but I’m really worried he won’t be able to settle at all. I know we don’t have much time left together, but I’d hate for this to be something that accelerates his decline.
