Our 13-year-old Schipperke (female) has started having urinary accidents in our home. She loves being outside and signals us to go out by pacing in circles every 2 hours or so.

Could this be a behavioral change due to her preference to be outside, or is it a function of advanced age or a potential medical condition like diabetes?

What could be causing his chronic cough, and what additional tests or treatments should be considered?

However, she is now exhibiting twitching, jerking, restlessness, shivering, and difficulty eating. Is it possible she had a stroke, and what can be done for her at this point?
