Default Re: IF you DOG behavior CHANGES over night ...SEE VET!!!

AMEN JAC......you don't know HOW scared DAVE and I were as MAX has NEVER EVER SHOWN aggression in any form like growling, has NEVER snapped etc

So when he got to a low grumbling, and then later growled and also got possessive of his food, space etc ESP/later at night....I realized maybe
his BEHAVIOR meant his ears or something else was wrong and went IMMEDIATELY to VET!!
PEANUT scoooting away....that was not NORMAL either.

MAX and PEANUT ADORE Alivia.....run if she cries, alerts us if she wakes up, also herds her away from stairs and more all by natural instinct
THEY usually LOVE and watch out for her , SO WHEN they acted different in what seemd almost Overnight I kept a close eye and then I KNEW
to bring them to the PATHOLOGIST VET that specializes in what her hubby a normal dog and large animal vet might miss at times.

AM I GLAD I DID !!! and I cannot express the relief I feeel in my heart and for safety sake of Alivia as well as the HEALTH of my doodles too.

I REALLY HOPE MANY PEOPLE take heed to this........EVEN a puppy doing this say 4 or 5mos old can mean a bee sting, thyroid, ear infection
or JUST THAT SOMETHING is wrong and THIS IS THE ONLY WAY A PUPPY and/or a MATURE DOg lets US KNOW to help them OUT.

sooooooo MAX wasn't aggressive ......he was protecting his very sore ears and lettting us know he didn't feel well as Peanut did so but differently.

NOW for the past 4 days MAX AND PEANUT are back to loving ALIVIA but i watch them carefully as they are healing still and go BACK TO VET
AGAIN FRIDAY to see any progress esp/since Alivia is here alot on and off. I WON"T take any chances at all and want my doodles healthy and Alivia safe


OK ..........that's all folks hahhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Dont' mean to be long winded BUT SERIOUSLY sometimes people mistake a dog's reaction as aggression when it's not. THEY can't talk like us so they talk in doggy language and body language we sometimes miss. A GRUMBLE or GROWL we don'T. IT GOT OUR ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY
