Is Alzheimer's disease found in other species besides humans? |
I was playing catch with my dog earlier today and it got me thinking...you never hear of cases in which animals develop Alzheimer's disease...made me wonder if diet has something to do with it? That's a great question. The symptoms of Alzheimers have to do with someone's memory. I wouldn't doubt that other animals develop it, but due to limited communication the symptons wouldn't be as prominant. Most alzheimer patients understand basic commands, who they are (even if they think they're in the past) and basic human needs. dogs are on this level all the time... maybe you'd see them act differently around neighbors or friends as they get older, but most people would write that off as the dog just getting old and grumpy... sweet question though. |
