Agression towards my 3 year old

Behavioral Issues
  • J

    It's scary with a toddler in the house. Even though Willie has gotten soooo much better, when I recently had little children in the house for a short visit, I kept him on a leash. You just can't watch them 100 percent of the time.

    Here's hoping the best for Buster.

    @senjisilly said in Got agressive towards my daughter: Very few, if any, veterinary labs run a complete analysis especially for thyroid issues. Lots of very fine reputable places do full panel thyroid.. Michigan State, Cornell ( https://ahdc.vet.cornell.edu/test/detail.aspx?testcode=THYPK9 )) etc. Here are OFA sites: https://www.ofa.org/diseases/other-diseases/hypothyroidism/thyroid-labs Approved OFA Thyroid Labs Animal Health Diagnostic Center (AHDC) Endocrinology Laboratory, Cornell University, 240 Farrier Rd., Ithaca, NY 14853, 607-253-3673 Animal Health Laboratory Laboratory Services Division, University of Guelph, Specimen Reception, 419 Gordon St., NW Corner Gordon/McGilvray St, Guelph, Ontario, N1G 2W1, CANADA, Phone 519-824-4120 X54530, Fax 519-827-0961 Antech Diagnostics* 1111 Marcus Ave., Suite M28, Lake Success , NY 11042, 800-872-1001 *only the Lake Success, NY location of Antech has been certified to process OFA thyroid panels IDEXX 1345 Denison St., Markham, Ont, L3R 5V2, CANADA, 1-800-667-3411 Michigan State University MSU Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory (MSU VDL), 4125 Beaumont Road Room 122, Lansing, MI 48910-8104, 517-353-1683 Texas A&M Veterinary Medical Diagnostic Laboratory 483 Agronomy Rd., College Station, TX 77840, 979-845-3414 University of California Davis Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital, Central Laboratory Receiving, VMTH Room 1033, 1 Garrod Drive, Davis, CA 95616 Phone: 530-752-VMTH (530-752-8684), Fax: 530-752-5055, email: ucdvetclinicallabs@ucdavis.edu

    Oh NO! I am sorry about your wedding ring, but it sounds like things are improving. That's pretty high for a crate, but we paid about $150 for the airline crates to move here (I use wire crates at home).. so they'll just be stored or sold.

    Please spay your bitch now. While it may not help, it could and it absolutely can prevent an oops litter with her son. I agree totally, wait until he is older to neuter. Her age.. just now maturing. It isn't uncommon for them to become dog aggressive as they mature, and no, you can't stop it. The only safe method is control, keep safe, and accept that some things are simply the nature of the dog. More dogs have been killed/injured by people trying to make them get along with other dogs than anything. Dog management is the key. Absolutely thyroid testing, but don't expect that, even if she has issues, to cure the problem. Can you talk to the breeder to see how her bloodline and litter mates are?

    @Quercus: Sorry :o Don't be jealous…you have time to read :) True, but the insomnia also helps with additional reading time. aside: I've had insomnia for years. Not every night, but many, many nights. It's better with fewer in the bed, but . . . Anyway, the only time I was really, really happy to have insomnia was when I was reading Seabiscut. Other good books, i didn't mind too much to be awake at 3am, but with Seabiscut I was excited about it.
