My senior blind dog cries all day. What's wrong and how can I help?

Question

My boyfriend and I both work from home full time, so we are always with our dog. In the last few months, he has started crying through out the day, almost every day. We have tried lots of things: gave him attention/affection, walked him, treated him, told him "no", gave him medicine (he has sore joints so we thought maybe he was in pain) - but nothing has worked. He is almost completely blind, so we aren't sure if it's the cause - but we don't know what to do for him since nothing seems to help. Pet's info: Dog | Beagle | Male | neutered | 10 years and 10 months old | 37 lbs

Poor Jobin! It's hard to witness your pup crying and not know why. I recommend having Jobin see your vet to help rule out a medical cause for his behaviour. He may be in pain or nauseous, or may be suffering from canine cognitive dysfunction, which can lead to confusion and anxiety. See the link below for more details, and good luck! I hope your baby feels better soon! https://veterinarypartner.vin.com/default.aspx?pid=19239&id=4952637
