Restlessness in pets can have many causes, from a change in routine to pain or an underlying health condition. At <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crossovervet.net\/\">Crossover Veterinary Clinic<\/a> in Fayetteville, Arkansas, we can help you determine what may be disrupting your pet&#8217;s sleep and find ways to help them feel more comfortable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Is My Pet Pacing or Waking Up at Night?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An occasional restless night isn&#8217;t necessarily cause for concern. Your dog may have heard something outside, or your cat may simply have decided that 3 a.m. is an excellent time to play. But new or persistent pet sleep problems can sometimes signal that something more is going on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Possible reasons your pet may have trouble settling at night include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Pain or physical discomfort<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Anxiety, stress, or changes in the household<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Needing to urinate or defecate more frequently<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Digestive discomfort<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Changes in hearing or vision<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cognitive changes in older pets<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>An underlying illness that makes it difficult to rest<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pay attention to what your pet actually does when they&#8217;re awake. Pacing, panting, repeatedly changing positions, staring into space, crying, or asking to go outside can provide useful clues for your veterinarian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Could Nighttime Restlessness Be a Sign of Pain?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It can be. Some of the signs of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crossovervet.net\/services\/pain-management.html\">pain in pets<\/a> are subtle, especially when discomfort develops gradually. A dog with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crossovervet.net\/blog\/how-to-tell-if-your-pet-has-arthritis\/\">arthritis<\/a>, for example, may have difficulty finding a comfortable sleeping position. A cat experiencing pain may become unusually vocal, withdrawn, or restless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Watch for other changes such as stiffness after resting, reluctance to jump or use stairs, decreased activity, changes in grooming, or difficulty getting up and lying down. Pain can arise from joint problems, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crossovervet.net\/blog\/recognizing-the-signs-of-dental-disease-in-pets-and-when-to-seek-care\/\">dental disease<\/a>, injuries, and many other conditions, so don&#8217;t assume your pet is simply &#8220;getting older.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you notice these changes, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crossovervet.net\/staff\/\">our team<\/a> can evaluate your pet and discuss appropriate next steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Senior Pet Behavior Changes May Be More Noticeable at Night<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Changes in sleep patterns are particularly important to watch in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crossovervet.net\/blog\/senior-pet-care-ensuring-comfort-in-golden-years\/\">older dogs and cats<\/a>. Some senior pet behavior changes can be related to cognitive dysfunction, an age-related condition that can affect memory, awareness, sleep-wake cycles, and behavior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A senior pet experiencing cognitive changes might:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Sleep more during the day and stay awake at night<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pace or wander without an obvious purpose<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Seem confused in familiar surroundings<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Vocalize more frequently<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Become unusually anxious or clingy<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Have new accidents in the house<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, these behaviors aren&#8217;t automatically caused by cognitive decline. Pain, sensory loss, urinary problems, and other medical conditions can produce similar changes, which is why a veterinary evaluation is important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When Should I Call My Fayetteville Veterinarian?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If nighttime restlessness is new, frequent, worsening, or accompanied by other changes, schedule a veterinary visit. Keep notes on when the behavior started, what your pet does at night, and any changes you&#8217;ve noticed in appetite, thirst, bathroom habits, mobility, or daytime behavior. A short video of unusual pacing, movement, or behavior may also be helpful during your appointment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Seek prompt veterinary attention if restlessness occurs along with difficulty breathing, severe pain, collapse, repeated vomiting, inability to urinate, or another sudden or concerning symptom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Help Your Pet Rest Easier<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A change in your pet&#8217;s nighttime routine may be their way of showing you that something doesn&#8217;t feel right. Finding the cause can help you address discomfort, health concerns, or age-related changes and help your companion get back to more restful nights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your dog or cat has become unusually restless at night, call Crossover Veterinary Clinic at <a href=\"tel:+1-479-750-7474\">(479) 750-7474<\/a> to book a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crossovervet.net\/services\/canine-wellness.html\">canine<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crossovervet.net\/services\/feline-wellness.html\">feline<\/a> wellness visit.
