oh my gosh, my poor Milo is having a hard night and therefore so is everyone else...
the lounge where he sleeps (with hubby so he's not alone), was very hot - hubby has a tv, ps5 that might've been contributing plus having the window on a safety latch so not open that much, and just a fan (we're in the UK so it usually isn't necessary to have aircon).
I had to bring the juniors into the bedroom with me (it's cooler in here as I've had two fans and the door open for a while) so the lounge can ventilate.
Having said that, it might be influencing Milo's meowing BUT he was doing this before the heat increased the last day or two.
He meows in the room and when let out, he will be quiet for a minute or two, and then start meowing and yowling again. It is very distressing to not know what to do.
We've put a beahar calming treatment on him and it doesn't seem to be touching the sides at all. It helped at the start of the year with some changes we had, but it seems like things have progressed with him - he was diagnosed CKD when we went to check if there was a medical issue for his behaviours, and now we're wondering if he's got dementia (someone in another post said to check for hyperthiroidism which we will mention to the vet but for now we don't know and his test results were all OK except for the CKD and a slight heart murmur that hasn't been looked into further at this point).
He is distressed and so are we....
what can we do to help him? we don't have any meds and it's 1am here in the UK...
we are at a loss for our poor bubba...
