I ran out of room. But when I take the pit bull out she goes crazy when she sees other dogs she wants to go after them I don’t no if she trying to protect herself or me or just very dog aggressive is there a way to change her behavior
Not Exactly Yay But Doesn’t Seem All Nay Either … ? No Pus And No…
Not exactly yay but doesn’t seem all nay either … ? No pus and no suspicious smell other than faint sweet smell. Stitching slowly keeps coming apart from the way it puckers when the joint bent (which unfortunately is most of the time). Pink areas I assume good = alive? What about the white and dark areas?

Diedra Cardamone Hi Eddie,
Your veterinarian may be able to refer you to a behavior specialist – this is where I would start. They have so much wonderful knowledge and can get you and your pit started in the right direction. It is wonderful that you care enough about her to get some answers about her behavior. In many cases it is us as owners learning as much as our pets. Have you had the pit for her entire life or is she a rescue? Please keep us posted!

Laura Kyle Hi Eddie, your pups behavior is pretty common and can absolutely be fixed. Without knowing your pup it is hard to say why she is reactive on a leash so I agree that you should work with a trainer. I would look for a trainer that uses both corrective methods and positive reinforcement. Once you get a plan for your dog I would also suggest takin her for walks with unfamiliar dogs. She doesn’t need to interact with them, she just needs to learn how to walk with other dogs. I know it sounds like the simplest thing in the world, but in my experience a simple pack walk can make a world of difference. Good luck! Please keep us posted

julie brader Hello Eddie, I don’t quite understand the question….but I think you mean separate your pitbull from the other dogs in your house? Give her her own room with outside access to the yard?
This would be ok but I think you might run the risk of upsetting the harmony between the 3 of them. Your pitbull may end up jealous and feeling left out. She could turn on the other two maybe. She would certainly miss them. All you could do is give it a try and see.
I don’t know if your pitbull would ever be able to socialise and be friendly with other dogs at 6 years old, she could be too set in her ways now. Maybe you could muzzle her and see how that goes too…..the last thing you want is another dog bitten…..
You sound a very responsible owner and I hope it all works out for you. Good luck.

Eddie Eidinger I met the new dog 2 year old might not get along with the 6 year old I would keep the 6 year old Pitt with the golden and lab chow mix they get along fine but she probably wouldn’t get along with the new dog so I was going to keep the new dog by it self

julie brader Oh I see lol….yes that would be fine I’m sure. Be careful your pitbull doesn’t come face to face with your new dog though ….but I’m already sure you won’t ?
Good luck with the new dog!

PK Dennis I think you will get tired of this arrangement very quickly. After a few day if one or two of the dogs think they need to get to the other dog(s) you will have a dangerous situation. One second of not paying attention. One visiting friend that doesn’t understand the consequences of opening a door and you will have an out-of-control situation.
And these are all BIG dogs. You won’t be able to just pick up one of the dogs to end the fight.
I have fostered dogs that wanted to kill smaller dogs (one of my own dogs!). Every precaution was taken — two doors/gates between the dogs. The aggressive dog was harnessed and had to always drag a leash for me to step on (these were terriers that I could pick up to help end any aggression). The aggressive dog was never allowed into the yard with the smaller dogs unless there were 2 handlers that were working with the aggressive dog (1 to work with the aggressive dog, and 1 to make sure the smaller dogs did not approach the aggressive dog).
I finally got the aggressive dog to accept that MY small dog was not something for him to kill and they got to the point that they could all be in the kennel all day together. BUT he was still willing to attack unknown small dogs on sight.
In the 6 months he was with me, even being as careful as I could be, this dog attacked small dogs four times. Visitors opened a door that someone else left unlocked, the aggressive dog pushed down a baby gate that we thought was secure enough to hold him, he got over a fence that we thought was too high for him to climb, etc. Each of the small dogs attacked were bitten and bloody — and they suffered PTS. It was pure luck that determined dog never got just the right hold on the other dogs so that he could break their necks. Cause that is what he was trying to do!
So, ask yourself how dangerous is the situation. How sure are you that you can keep your dog(s) safe from the aggressor. I have fostered over 30 dogs, several of which came to me as very aggressive dogs so I had experience. And it was still very overwhelming for me at times.
I commend you for wanting to rescue another dog — just be sure you don’t endanger the new dog, or your own dog(s) in the process.
Good luck.

Hi, I Need Some Tips On My Situation With My Bunny So It Would Be…
Hi, I need some tips on my situation with my bunny so it would be great if you wouldn’t mind helping me out. My bunny is an adult medium male Brown HollandLop, I had had him since he was very little. I decided to have him free ranged around my garden both day and night because he would be very aggressive and stressed out if I caged him even though his cage is very big ( 3 meters long, 2 meters tall and 2 meters wide). I have never seen any other predators except stray cats, I wouldn’t worry about the cats that much because my rabbits are great friends with my dog and he would scare away the cats and at night my bunny would choose to go sleep in my garage which is right next to one of my families room so if anything bad happens we would hear it. I don’t know if this is safe but he seems very happy to be free ranged and have this cage open so he can go in for pellets and veggies. Please give me your opinion on what I should do with my situation.

Anonymous your area is completely without birds of prey? that’s surprising. and you can’t count on predators behaving around prey. your dog is also a predator. he may be trained to leave the rabbit alone, but that doesn’t mean you should leave them together unsupervised.
is your rabbit not used to being handled? are you rough when putting him in the cage?
-
Chawfaar Bowornwattanangkoon My rabbit is totally used to being handled but after I have him run around during the day he would have a really hard time going back in. And I live in Thailand so there are no foxes etc. My dog isn’t really a concern to me because he have been with my rabbit since they are very little but I do supervise my dog while he is outside with the bunny. I rabbit is very bonded to me so if I go outside to would come to me.

B. Lakonpa I let my rabbits run around the yard but only when I can supervise them. Your rabbit might end up wandering too far or a predator could find him, even though he doesn’t want to go in the cage, it’s whats best for his safety. How big is your cage?
Hello. I Recently Got A Dog By A Woman Who Said She Could No Longer…
Hello. I recently got a dog by a woman who said she could no longer take care of her. The lady said that she also thinks the dog is pregnant. About 3 weeks later her abdomen had grown and her nipplez were easily seen under her fur. I really thought she was pregnant but yesterday I noticed she was licking herself and she was bleeding. Later a male dog came to her. Nothing happened though. Was this her gaining weight because of regular meals and she’s in heat or is there some pregnancy complications

Anonymous has he been checked for a UTI?

Anonymous to add: once he’s been seen by your vet (ASAP, please – UTIs can be deadly if a blockage happens!), retrain him to the litterbox. put him in a bathroom with the litterbox (and food and water, of course!), and ensure he’s using it regularly for about a week before you let him back out into the rest of the house.
