Hello and welcome. Has your vet tested for diabetes?

Also, since it's at night time, another possibility is canine cognitive dysfunction - the dog equivalent of dementia. In humans with dementia, confusing daytime and nighttime routines is common, with people often being unsettled at night. There are supplements that can slow its progress.

I agree could well be dementia. Your vet should be able to offer some helpful medication. This is very trying for you, and I wish you well.
