Hi Karen, and welcome to the site. We have an elderly dog as well (almost 15). We had thought he might be going senile as he was up all night, panting and pacing. Then we thought maybe he was in pain and not wanting to put him on any other drugs - he also is taking cardiac meds - we took him to acupuncture. What a difference! A couple of days after his first treatment he slept through the night. We take him every week or two and most nights, he sleeps soundly. It wasn't senility after all!

I don't know if acupuncture will help Yoda but maybe it's worth a try. For Yoda's nighttime bathroom breaks, maybe you can encourage him to use astroturf (indoors)?

Good luck, I hope both you and Yoda feel better soon.
