I am certain he is ill. :(
I reported on very clingy and "wandering" behavior back in December.
My dog is still doing it.
He'll wander the rooms at night and he'll be standing in place or in a corner when I find him. He'll follow me but he'll do it again later on.
He is also all over the bed; he usually sleeps at the foot of it but since this time in December and even more often now, he's sleeping anywhere on the bed. Last night he was up on the pillow.
He'll also stand in place on the bed and stare off into the distance. I'll call him but he won't move.
He'll also endlessly paw at the mattresss. I know dogs do this for comfort reasons but his pawing goes on for a minute or more.
The vet told me it might be brain related; he mentioned the possibility of a lesion back then. The behavior let up for awhile but it's started again during the last couple of weeks.
My dog's got cataract problems and hearing loss; he is 12.
I don't know if an MRI will help for confirmation purposes.. If he's got a problem, he's got a problem.
I'm doing what I can to comfort him -- I know he must be scared.
Keep my doggus in your thoughts. In 3 months we will be best friends for 10 years.

BFP - 10/29/2016!!!, EDD - 7/8/2017
B/w 1/8: betas 17,345, progesterone 25.6
There's a way to treat him holistically; I'm going to give it a try.
Thanks for everyone's advice.
