Dog Has Ccd,

Not the best of days, it's just been confirmed that Eddy (Todays Avatar) is suffering from the Canine version of Alzheimers, we've been keeping a diary of strange behavior for a month or two, which has got worse since we moved (6 weeks), daft things like getting stuck in the kitchen by standing behind the hinge-side of the open door waiting for it to open, and getting stuck in corners by not thinking to turn around. He's just turned 8 yrs, he's fit as a butchers dog physically, and has a really nice disposition but is becoming a case of Care in the Community.
Never come across this before, does anyone else have experience of it, and any helpful advice would be welcome, don't think he's in any physical discomfort, just confused. Thanks.

I am not sure what the normal average life span of a Doberman is but it does seem to have hit earlier than I would have expected.
My last dog was a Lab/GSD and was like this at the end. Walking into corners and getting stuck and trying to find me in the flat - even repeatedly walking past me in his search. I was lucky that it didn't get too bad (he was able to function and enjoy life) and he died at the age of 14 of a bladder problem. He was a rescue dog and quite unpredictable - when he went senile he started being nicer to people.
Eddy - use this to your advantage, get double treats and food. :-)
