Staffordshire bull terrier Discussions

I have a 14yr old staff bitch who will no longer go for walks she last went out 4 months ago spends all her time up stairs in back bedroom comes down from 6am then about every hour goes out in garden and sits there has breakfast then back up stairs. in the night she is back and forth between bedrooms and up and down about 8 times to go in garden we are both exhausted no sleep any ideas.

Hi Ron, have you had her to a vet?
My first thought was dementia. My Löwchen boy had this, and though he lived to 17, he stopped enjoying walks at about this age. I had to keep him on a lead or he would panic and run back home again. I believe there are tablets which can help these days.
Chronic pain or discomfort is a possibility too.

May also be that she can't hold it like she used to. I'd be tempted to ask a vet to check a urine sample to rule out UTI and to give her a general check over to see if there's anything that may make her more comfortable
