She had another seizure. This one was a little worse than the last one had. Gave her some honey and after a few minutes she came out of it. She has been acting aggressive with Squeak. I have had to break up fights. She gets protective over the dog bones I get them. If the other 2 get close she growls at them. Or lights into them. Tonight she was out side playing with a grass hopper and Jazzy joined in the next thing we knew she went after her and was kicking butt. I yelled at her and she quit and I had got after her about it. Later on she had the seizure. So not sure what is going on with her. She never done this before. Maybe back when she got rolled by the horses it messed her up. Who knows. Now I have to watch her when they have there bones. I put dog food and a bowl of water in the dog crate when we leave for a long time. Squeak goes in the crate. Well after he was let out she laid next to the crate and dared either one to get close to it. Seems since she was spayed this has been going on. If it keeps up I'm going to have to find her a home with no other dogs. She is usually a good dog and a great watch dog. But I don't need her hurting poor Sweet Pea and Squeak is tiny. She did draw blood on Jazzy.

So sorry about all of that. And frustrating that the diagnoses are so difficult to distinguish physical from mental, temporary from chronic. I suppose you can't even know if she'll "turn" on a person next. I feel for you

Poor molly. It's frustrating when animals can't say what's going on with her or what hurts them.

Have you explained everything that is happening to your vet? I'm sure you've told him/her about the seizures but what about the rest of it (the aggressiveness)? Perhaps there are some neurological tests the vet can run to see if something is wrong?

When she had the first one. The vet said it could possibly be damage from when the horses rolled her. That if they start to be closer then take her in. She is a jealous type of dog so maybe that is why she does what she does. when she lits into Squeak all I do is yell HEY and she stops and goes away hungered down knowing she messed up.
That's what I hate about rescues you never know what they went through....

Our dogs get along great but we never give them bones unless they're separated. Amigo went after my daughter's old dog a few years ago in a scrap over a bone. Cost us $300.
A friend of mine has a five year old Belgian shepherd who has started having seizures. I'm not sure if she's been diagnosed as having epilepsy or not. Anyway, she often shows aggression towards their Rottie now that she has been having seizures. I can't remember if it's right after the seizures or when it happens. She was saying that she's also concerned because the vet said that often other dogs will go after the seizing dog. Luckily her Rottie is a good guy.
I hope you can come up with a good option for Molly. It must be so confusing for them. Poor girl. |

Well I think the first thing I will do is stop buying them the bones. She is fine now. She was even playful this morning. She has always been kind of strange. She gets rough with you but if you get rough with her she will yelp and hunker down. Sometimes if you move her with your foot she yelps. I think this dog had the crap beat out of her more than once.. She is a over all good dog.

I hated when my fought. i used to feed them all in a seperate area of the kitchen and lock up the doxi in the laundry room with a baby gate. and absolutely never gave them bones. or treats unless everyone was seating and they knew they were going to get a treat. only one,.l
perhaps an xray of her head might show what is going on. they can not speak to us to tell us what hurts . perhaps she might need some seizure meds, or could be diabetic.
good luck and hope you find out a solution to the situation that is good for everyone.

I am sorry for you and Molly. Not having treats sounds like a good idea, but how are you going to eliminate grasshoppers coming into their lives? I have a feliway for the cat. I know they have them for dogs, I just don't remember what they are called. It might help. We had one for Sally, a rescue Chihuahua. It didn't help her, but our other two dogs mellowed out some when we had it on. |

So very challenging. We want our pets to be fully engaged with each other but they aren't in their "natural environment", they're in ours. Requires a lot more management when there are confounding issues. But I think I know you well enough that you will come up with a "new normal" although until then it will definitely challenge your patience and creativity. (((  )))) |

Canagan just had his Meds increased by a pill a day and hasn't seized since:)
He only ever attacked my hubby after a seizure, they do get confused and even a little blind so please allow for her, I started locking my boston up at night as I knew he would be attacked as he gets excited whereas the Shih tzu has the sense to stay out the way!
Canagans seizures are idiopathic, very frustrating.
