Not a very satisfactory from your vets IMO. They need to do some tests to find out why don't they. I hope you can get a definitive diagnosis/explanationflowers.

Get one of those plug in calmer things, they really help.

Has he gone deaf? it is a thing with collies

Thank you for replying, Smileless2012.
I did consider that. I have called our vets and they have said no,
Although they don't know. They have said it could be anxiety, stress, bladder problems or kidney problems...
So in other words they don't know.
In himself he is fine, eating well, drinking normally. He has severe arthritis but is on a new monthly injection which has worked wonders.
He is still really alert except for the barking.

Try a kind soft mesh muzzle it helped our Jack Russell who started barking and was walking backwards. He was diagnosed with severe dementia I was broken hearted when he passed away.

Could it be the onset of dementia?

Please can anyone give me advice. Our border collie is 10 years old and has just started barking at night. We have tried leaving him but he won't stop until one of us comes down to sleep on the sofa.
Once we do this, he goes straight back to sleep.
He doesn't want to go out.
He is afraid of stairs, so we are unable to get him upstairs with us. Does anyone have a clue what is wrong with him please?
