This sounds like a sad case but reminds me of some spells Medley had earlier this year. A few times it was like she didn't recognize us. She didn't hide all the time but seemed happy when in a dark corner a few hours a day. Much of the time she slept in the sun, though. One time she was kind of staggering so we took her in to the vet. He didn't find anything wrong but suggested giving her a low-dose aspirin which we did about every other Saturday. Then, we were gone on vacation for two weeks in July. The housesitter didn't have any problems with her and said she acted normal. When we got back, she acted just like her old self and had up until she went to the bridge. That day had been normal and playing (as much as a 14 year old plays) and slept with us that night. Am assuming now there was a heart problem that hadn't shown up and the spell was dementia. Not that this helps your neighbor but we did have three normal, good months with Med and that one spell was the only symptom. If Medley had had continued, ongoing spells like the one, we probably would have considered helping her. My heart goes out to your neighbor but I truly believe the kit will also let her know if she needs help. Hugs
