My 12 year old Springer is constantly panting, leading to food dish but has been fed, paces, looks into distance but not directly at something, bumps into things daily, and then will fall asleep at night. Please help

I recommend to have Buster examined by the veterinarian. Changes in behavior like this could indicate dementia, hypothyroidism or cushings disease. The doctor will ask you many questions and Buster will need some blood tests. I hope this helps.
