Nocturnal disorientation in elderly dogs can be a sign of Canine Cognitive Dysfunction Syndrome (CDS), often compared to Alzheimer's in humans. Symptoms include confusion, altered sleep-wake cycles, house-soiling, and changes in interactions. While it's part of aging, there are treatments and management strategies to improve their quality of life, including diet changes, supplements, and medications. A veterinary examination can help diagnose CDS and rule out other medical causes for the disorientation.
