Sleep Disorders
Many people don’t know this, but sleep disorders are common in animals, some of them causing too much sleep, while others leading to sleep deprivation. For example, narcolepsy is a mental disorder characterized by irregular sleep-wake cycles. Another common sleep disorder is insomnia. There are many cat owners who say that their furry friends suffer from this disorder. According to animal experts, insomnia can occur in dogs as well, but there are rare cases. Â
Just like any other disorder, symptoms differ from animal to animal and treatment will be prescribed based on the severity of the problem. However, veterinarians recommend that you play more with them during the day, meds, acupuncture and other antioxidants.Â
Alzheimer’s Disease
It is perfectly normal for certain body functions to deteriorate with age, such as losing their sight and hearing, but your pets can also develop cognitive dysfunction syndrome also known as CDS, which is similar to Alzheimer’s disease in humans.Â
Unfortunately, pets that suffer from this disease can usually forget their routines, where they are and even their owners, can also become aggressive and stressed – when they forget their normal routines and see their owners as strangers, they think that something has changed or that they are threatened and this could lead to anxiety.Â
Animal experts believe that domestic animals are more likely to develop Alzheimer’s-related symptoms than the wild ones because they live longer due to the healthy foods and environment that we provide them with. Treatment for this disorder involves more exercise and a diet filled with more antioxidants, and fatty acids.

Any thoughts on “anorexia”. I have a lovely year old husky who is a poor eater. I have experimented with lots of different foods including those prescribed by our vet. Some times she eats it and sometimes she nibbles at the top and leaves the rest. I have added “yummy” stuff most dogs would love to eat and she walks away from it. Human food doesn’t appeal to her all that much and I don’t want to become her chef! Is there any absolutely irresistible additive you can suggest?
