Only Aggressive With Food, And Only Started To Outwardly Be Aggressive With Food This Week…
Only aggressive with food, and only started to outwardly be aggressive with food this week. Other than that they get along fine.
My German Shepard is gentle with humans, this aggression is only towards my other dog. ( I can hand feed my german, she sits and only eats when I tell her to.) My peke is not showing aggression or challenging my german.

My Cat, Mitsi, Is 18 Years Old. She Doesn’t Have Any Signs If The Urinary…
My cat, Mitsi, is 18 years old. She doesn’t have any signs if the urinary tract infections or lumps or bumps. She has no problem going in her litter box though occasionally she trips and pees when she is getting in the box (it’s only 4 or 5 inches high).
To be more specific with her scratching, she has done it for years but now she screams and pees when she does it.
She’s peeing on everything now and a couple times a day, I don’t know what to do anymore.
My family doesn’t have enough money to take her to the vet and due to her age they probably wouldn’t let me, but thank you for any help!
She has no problem eating or drinking and she pukes every once in a while as she’s always done. Besides the scratching and peeing , she’s just like she’s always been.

Charlotte Mansfield is there anything that i should do before that

Anonymous Without knowing the cause, I don’t know that anyone can really suggest anything. Call your vet…now, because this has gone on long enough that he sounds pretty miserable.

She Has Had 2 Normal Worming Treatments And 1 Stronger One Which Lasted 3 Days…
She has had 2 normal worming treatments and 1 stronger one which lasted 3 days and was taken with chicken and rice. We broke her in gently back to puppy biscuits but today has been really bad. She has had 4 runny poos in 1 hour. And 2 contained blood. She seems happy enough but has definitely been more naughty this evening. Biting and running around.

Krista Magnifico hello,
I am sorry but your question was lost when the site was updated. I hope that she was seen by a vet and is better now. Any young puppy diarrhea needs to be seen by a vet asap. again our apologies for the delay.

Krista Magnifico Hello,
I am sorry but our site went down after your question was asked. All eye conditions, especially one like yours describes need to be seen by a vet ASAP to protect the vision and correct the underlying cause. In cats this age it is usually an URI. Antibiotics and fluids are needed.
This Is My 6 1/2 Month Old Blue Heeler. I’m Worried He Might Have Something…
This is my 6 1/2 month old blue heeler. I’m worried he might have something wrong with his, i could be over reacting but if i dont check i’ll feel pretty guilty. Not the best pictures but basically his right eye (our left) has a few differences than the other. You can always see his sclera in that one eye. The bottom eye lid seems droop ever so slightly lower, when he looks up at you it drifts a little bit to the wrong direction almost like a lazy eye but not severe. It also appears to be a little further set back than the other eye and when u pull his eye lid down he has a curved black mark coming off the colored part of his eye and redness. I took many other pictures but just realized you can only upload one?
Not sure if this also has something to do with it but he is very itchy all the time. No fleas at all no hot spots. Was started on prednisone which worked on 2 pills a day but as soon as he was down to 1 a day hes back to itchy all over and rubbing his eyes.
He also had an overbite which maybe is affecting the face where his eye is? Not sure.

Thunder Alam In case of Puking Foam , Her digestive system isn’t good. But blood is coming?!?? She got a stomach cancer. Keep calm and visit a vet as soon as possible if you want to save her.
I would immediately change your feeding schedule. Feed in separate rooms through whelping and until the litter has been sold. GSDs are known for moderate same sex aggression…throwing pregnancy into that mix increases that instinct.
Your breed mentor should have told you this.
This was definitely an unplanned pregnancy, I had only had her for a week or two before she went into heat (She only just turned a year in July.) And we are new to the area so ironically there is a male Shepard down the road who did as he pleased while Danu (my Shepard,) was tied up. I did not know they are known for moderate same sex aggression so that is very helpful. I am having low confidence lately concerning whether or not Danu is a good fit for our home and if this can be broken even after the litter is gone.
SSA is temperament, not training. It *cannot* be trained out. She may go back to “normal” once the puppies are gone…or she may not. Give her time, at least, to get the hormones out of her system before you decide to rehome her again.
If you do, please go through a German Shepherd rescue to get her placed. This will ensure she goes to an appropriate, experienced GSD home.
There seems to only be aggression when food is involved, not toys or anything like that, but I can tell my first dog, Ladybird, the Peke mix, is not relaxed at all. So in theory, if Danu was male we would not be having this issue?
also, danu is not fully German Shepard, she has rottie in her as well, don’t know if this makes any a difference, and her original house hold Danu had to fight with many other dogs in a small home, not have access to food and water for weeks, it was bad living conditions.
Well, like I said, she *may* go back to normal afterward. Regardless, do NOT allow them to eat in the same room.
It sounds like Danu has a lot of issues. If I may ask, why didn’t you terminate the pregnancy early?
Danu, despite her original environment has come a long way since when we first got her, and it has only been up to this week has she shown such aggression. So its really taken me aback, because this is not her, I would not allow a dog into my home that would cause hazard to my animals. I did not terminate the pregnancy early because quite frankly, we did not know FOR SURE she was pregnant. She was not showing normal symptoms or signs.
and right now, they are both sleeping, no issues, previously Danu licked ladybird in good gesture, so I know the trigger is food.
Noted.
Well, hormones make everyone do crazy things, including our dogs. I think, once the puppies have been rehomed (please use a rescue to help you with that, to ensure they end up in appropriate homes), get her in an obedience class. It’s impossible to say just how she’ll behave once she’s no longer nursing and is spayed, you know?
Absolutely, I just want to make sure I am taking the necessary steps to create a harmonious environment. I have never dealt with pregnancy in dogs, it was certainly not something I was looking forward to, but I guess the perfect storm occurred. I do appreciate you talking with me for I was freaking out this morning, I just hope things go well, and I will make sure the pups are in the hands of someone who knows what they are doing and are qualified.
