I don't post on here very often and when i do i'm always asking for advice so may i apologise in advance.
My wife has recently been diagnosed with alzheimer's but i have known for some time that she has had some form of dementia, after a couple of years of begging her to go to the doctor we are now on the radar. My current problem is our dogs: we have two small terriers which she dotes on but unfortunately she tends to forget that they have already been fed and feeds them over and over again. One of the dogs has become overweight and lethargic due to this but i am unable to reason with her and this results in endless arguments.
I appreciate that this may seem a minor problem to many of you but i'm new to all this and at the moment i'm really struggling to cope.
