Why is my 14-year-old dog restless and won't settle at night?

Question

My dog won't settle at night for the last week, she's eating fine and seems to be quite normal throughout the day but at night she's sniffing everywhere and won't settle down? She's 14. Pet's info: Dog | Yorkshire Terrier | Female | spayed | 13 years and 11 months old | 6 lbs

I recommend to have Rosie examined by the veterinarian to rule out pain from a back or neck issue, an anal gland issue or a bladder infection. Dementia can also cause restlessness at night. Since she can't talk and tell you why this is happening, play it safe with an exam. I hope this helps.
