Disorientation and circling in an older dog can be signs of Canine Cognitive Dysfunction (CCD), often compared to Alzheimer's in humans. However, it can also indicate other serious neurological issues like a brain tumor, stroke, or even inner ear problems. It's important not to dismiss these symptoms as just 'old age.' A veterinary examination can help differentiate between these conditions and explore options for improving your dog's quality of life, which might include medication, dietary changes, or environmental modifications.
