There was an article in yesterday's Sunday Express (UK paper) about a dog said to have been cured of senile dementia - I seem to remember some posts from people with dogs having 'senior moments' so thought this may be of interest.
THE FIRST DOG IN THE UK TO BE CURED OF SENILE DEMENTIA THANKS TO A REVOLUTIONARY NEW TREATMENT. After golden retriever Toby suffered a stroke and developed dementia his distraught owners thought he'd never recover. But after the new treatment launched only six weeks ago Toby has been given a new lease of life. Seventy five percent of dogs develop a canine form of Alzheimer's after the age of seven, which slows their brain and brings on dementia. Toby was worse off than most after suffering a stroke a year ago that caused his head to tilt. But after only a week on the special anti-oxidant food his head tilt has disappeared and his aging symptoms have been reversed. Owner Samantha Arora said "we cannot believe the change in Toby - its like he's two years old again. Six weeks ago he was limping around as if he was on his last legs. He couldn't even remember where his bed was and holding up his paw for a biscuit was a thing of the past. Now, she said, he's bounding around like a puppy. Six hundred clinics across the UK are now prescribing the treatment whose anti oxidant ingredients are taken from spinach, broccoli, tomato, citrus and tuna to provide intensive nourishment for the brain. A four-year study by Professor Bill Milgram at the university of Toronto on behalf of UK pet suppliers Hills Nutrition has shown a 60% increase in learning ability in the brains of dogs who have been treated for six months. I'm not recommending this - just thought it may be of interest. Its probably been available in US for some time but its not something I'd heard of.
