Lauren Lister is he aggressive? my female had this same problem. each time she bit i would take my hand and bob her bottom jaw. after a week she quit biting. and i mean. take your hand under his chin and swing up.

Anonymous please don’t listen to Lauren.
see your vet ASAP (today, if possible) to ensure there are no medical problems causing the biting. this should include things like a blood panel for thyroid. once your dog is completely cleared of all medical problems, contact a veterinary behaviorist. the directory is here: http://www.dacvb.org/about/member-directory/
do NOT hit, knee, or otherwise act violent toward your dog. this will not help.

ashlyn hag My vet said I should put him down, and since the humane society won’t take him because he drew blood, should I?
-
ashlyn hag My dog is a threat to my family and I am afraid that he will bite me kids, we have tried training classes, a trainer, and the humane society, anything else I should try?
-
ashlyn hag Also the reason my dog bit the lady was because he didn’t get his way
-
ashlyn hag Okay, thanks we had to put him down because he bit my daughter and he just gets so over protected, I know that there were other answers but my husband said their wasn’t we might get another dog do you have any suggestions for a mix breed dog that is easy to train and is medium size for under 200$
-
Anonymous That’s such a shame. This may have been a medical issue. Putting him down should have been a last possible resort AFTER having a vet do full blood panels and AFTER engaging a veterinary behaviorist.
No dog from an ethical, reputable breeder will cost auch a small sum. Please reevaluate your priorities with any future dog before running out and finding another one.

ashlyn hag We did have blood samples and everything done but it came out normal.

ashlyn hag He is aggressive and you should never hit any animal.

jerry smith Kinda hate to go against the flow on this one, probably get blasted ,but here is what I experienced once. I had had a lab for about a month once and he decided to snap at me one day. I punched him in the nose and rattled him pretty good, i never had a problem after that. My grandpa used to say kick them under the chin hard as you can, but that seems a bit rough to me. Anyway, I don’t advocate animal abuse, but you could try this one time before putting the animal down…might just need a good “attitude adjustment” from his master. If you afraid to try it, then go ahead and put them down, because if he won’t change for you, he’s not going to. Sometimes a little old school works better, lol! please no one hate on me.

My 6 year old Mini Schnauzer tore her ACL a few years back. Before she had surgery we asked what else could be done. Our vet said either surgery (which cost us 2,000$) or put her down. Is this true? Are there other alternatives? And she may have torn it again(we aren’t sure). What should we do about that?

Anonymous take your guinea pig to a vet.

Alex Sheets I am getting her an appointment but is there anything else I should do until then.

PK Dennis Keep her clean and dry, perhaps cut the fur away from the wound so the area can stay clean. If there is drainage you might want to soak the area with a wash cloth dipped in hot, salted water two times per day (morning & night). Use Epsom salts if you have them, kosher or sea salt works too. Salt the water until it tastes like the ocean. Dip a clean cloth in the water and wring out to it isn’t too drippy (and the water should be hot, but not burn you or the GP), then place it over the wound and hold it there until the cloth cools. Do this a few times per treatment, cleaning the area with the cloth at the end. Use fresh salted water and a new cloth each morning and night.
Good luck.

Alex Sheets Thank you both so much. I really appreciate the help.

Jana This actually kind of looks like ringworm to me, yes. Not seeing the red but seeing the patch. When JD had ringworm it looked like this (not red; normal skin color). Flat, not raised. Have it checked and conclusively identified.
