I Have A Pug Terrier Mix Who Is Very Sweet And Loving. But, We Have…
I have a pug terrier mix who is very sweet and loving. But, we have a golden retriever in our neighborhood and whenever our dog sees him whether it is through a window or out and about in the neighborhood, he attacks and goes completely insane! One time when I tried to pull him away he even tried to bite me. It is completely out of character for my dog and he is only this way around this particular dog. What is the next step I should take?

He is always out by us and like to be around us but is basically mean if you touch him at all. Or sit in his chair that he sleeps on about 50%of the time that he sleeps.

Anonymous do you play with him? my boy used to attack my ankles, back when i first brought him home. turned out he was bored. got a bunch of interactive toys and started playing with him and he mellowed out nicely.
this is, of course, assuming that he’s clear of any medical issues. he’s been to the vet recently, right? 🙂

Shiria How old is he? I would also say that he is bored. Especially male cats play more rough then females. As humans don’t have thick fur to protect them, it hurts us more than other cats, if they play with us like they would with other cats.
I would also say to play alot with him. Best thing would be another cat companion if he lives alone. That way he can really play like cats do with each other.
But first you need to check if he has medical issues. Sometimes pain can cause such an behaviour.,

Anonymous unfortunately you’re going to need a vet, and fast. consider Care Credit? it works like a credit card and is interest-free for a year.
-
Shiria I agree to Laura. Sounds like she needs a vet. Is her tummy bloated? Does she try to vomit, without it working?
If this is bloat, she will die from it, if you don’t take he to a vet Depending on where you are from, try to find a vet, that makes a payment plan or seomething similar. Or maybe the Care Credit that Laura mentiuoned, but plkease take her to a vet.. -
Anonymous the brand mentioned has been fatal for a number of pets in the US. i would be more inclined to say the dog has been poisoned rather than experiencing bloat.
My Dog Is A 45 Lb. German Shepherd Mixed With American Terrier 7 Year Old…
My dog is a 45 lb. German Shepherd mixed with American Terrier 7 year old suffering from something that I don’t know. This started about 4 months ago and has progressed to the point to where he constantly needs a cone on. He cobstantly agressivly licks his underbelly to the point where it has become raw and leathery.at times the area is red and swollen and others its is just leathery looking. Sometimes the area is moist and has a foul odor.recently he has started scratching his nose to the point to where he bleeds and when he is pet he favors those ares.please refer tot the pictures I have included. The vets gave him steroids and antibiotics buy that didn’t seem to help.We have also changed his food as recommended by the vet but nothing changed. the skin scrape of the area also came back negative for bacteria and mites. It sucks that I don’t know what the cause is, please help.

Dawn Ferara, DVM Jeff,
This is a fairly common problem. Behavior modification and picking up the droppings is a non-medical way of fixing this issue. However, there is a medication available from your vet which you feed to your dog and it makes the feces taste bad so your dog will not want to eat the feces.Good luckDr Dawn -
Brett Raio Thank you Dr. Dawn, I want to make his poop taste so bad, he doesn’t even want to poop anymore, especially not inside the house. Not to the point where he explodes lol but to the point he holds it in until he gets outside then doesn’t eat it because it tastes really good. And because he likes doo doo, he mustn’t like poopies. Thank you. ~ My name is Jeff.

yusaimi batista i called my vet and he informed me that as long as he was eating and drinking he should be okay because he poop all the worms that he had and thats probably why hes feeling like he had no energy to give him a couple of days until he gets his energy back i also told the vet that i would like an xray done what do u think
honestly, i’d talk to a behaviorist about this. they can assess your dog’s behavior firsthand and suggest things accordingly.
