My almost 13 year old dog is doing something similar. He randomly paces the house looking at the air. He has had so many pee accidents in the last 6 weeks. No UTI, blood work ok. Just can't hold it overnight anymore I guess. His hearing is going and he limps sometimes and has joint issues. Just like an old man. Its sad to see man.

We use the doggie diapers at night now, because our small dog sleeps with us. An anti-inflammatory crushed up and mixed with peanut butter would probably help your old guy.

Similar to my pug. Except it’s like he has lost the ability to hold it when he has to poop. He will just walk and poop and it’s like he didn’t even realize he did it.

Back legs seem to be weaker as well. It’s so sad seeing them age. Otherwise his quality of life is fine so I just do what I can to spoil him rotten the remaining time he is here. Senior dogs need more love and affection from us.
