...............well actually in any animal.
Could it exist?
The reason for my question is that Peggy guinea pig is 6+ years old. Fit and well, but with fading eyesight. Recently she seems to get a little confused. I keep their daily routine and layout exactly the same to cause the least anxiety for her.
Modern day technology and medicine means that our animals have a much better chance of living longer lives, like ourselves.
By living longer many will have the usual age related physical problems.
Just wondered about their mental state.
I'd be interested to hear if anyone has had any similar concerns and what brought them about.
Many thanks.
