I think Logan's post was wonderful and I am in total agreement. I had a dog develop dementia, my RB Cody, though his was confusion and anxiety. As soon as I left the room he was in, he would panic and start crying, yet not get up to follow. All I had to do was come back and give him a slight nudge on the rump and he would get himself up then and follow me, but he seemed to get so anxious he felt as helpless as a little puppy again and needed help. He was deaf in his later years so that did not help that he couldn't hear me when I left the room.

Cody's was fairly mild, and my vet suggested St. John's Wort, saying that if it got worse there were prescription medications but that they were more expensive and for Cody's mildness, probably not needed.

Let us know if you take Nanook in, what the vet thinks is going on. Best wishes for you, I'm glad you weren't seriously hurt. It must have been extremely upsetting though
