My 15-year-old pom tends to get restless after dinner, pacing and staring into corners like she has unseen appointments. Tonight was quieter after a tweak to her routine and meds timing that the vet suggested. We sat on the couch and she actually dozed instead of orbiting the coffee table for an hour.

The pacing is so hard to watch. Glad you got a softer night.

Routine tweaks helped my senior more than I expected, especially dinner timing.

No big advice, just solidarity. You're doing the careful noticing that matters.
