Holistic Pet Care

Does anyone know of any natural treatment for canine dementia/
senility? Those terms sound too strong. Addled occasionally - or
confused - would be more like it.

Mikey is 15 and is nearly deaf. The deafness has been coming on for a
couple of years. There may be some connection but his confusion is
getting worse. He's forgotten how to ask to go outside and/or doesn't
understand the clues that I'm trying to get him to go out. I started
trying to use hand signals as soon as I realized he wasn't hearing
me. Now, he can hear a sharp clap. He'll get half way to the door and
stop like he doesn't know what he's doing. Once he's outside, he may
just sit at the door or he may go for a run and potty-trip with the
other two dogs.

My question is, are there any natural treatments that might help? I
know there are things for humans but I can't find anything about
pets. The vet might have some drug but I don't want to go that route.
Mikey is smallish, so I don't consider 15 to be that old. He's fine
otherwise.
