hi all.
My 5 month old bull terrier bitch (Lottie) has become very agressive in the past few days.
She's always been agressive after having meat so we don't give her any..problem solved or so we thought.
We have a 4 and a half year old staffy bitch aswell called gladys. If Lottie smells frozen meat,raw meat, cooking meat or blood, she goes ballistic and really goes for gladys but this has only happened in the last week or so and lottie has come off worse, luckily i am just able to pick her up and remove her from the situation. If she's in the kitchen and i'm cooking and stroke her she growls progressivly louder. Yesterday she came and sat with me on the sofa and i was stroking her and she started to shake and growl. She looks poorly, her ears have dropped etc and i wondered if her tummy was sore, she got more and more growly so i eventually put her to bed to protect Gladys, the cat and ourselves. She is at the vets this afternoon. I wondered if it could be that she's coming into season and her hormones are playing up as i noticed some discharge from her the other day. I relly hope it is something that can be sorted out . Does anyone know any reason why this could be happening? Gladys is very placid and submissive so its not that Lottie feels threatened by her. I'm at a loss but it kills me to see that sort of thing and know she's in pain or something and not be able to do anything about it.

Hi, repeat postings are against TOS-plus you have some replies to your original post in the Visitors Forum. :)

never realised it was a repeat posting, work in a school and was told first post in visitors was blocked due to a firewall and so i tried joining and it let me post. Sorry for the confusion

wow sorry to hear about that kind of behavior you say only around meat? well by all means dont give lottie any fresh meat but dogs are carnivores so dry dog food with protien is a must where did you get lottie? only 5 months maybe is a gene thing. good you took her to the vet if they say nothing is physically or mentally wrong with her you have a pup that has behavior issues try redirecting her to somthing else give her biscuts for reward always tell her no when shes agressive if you dont correct her now she will only get worse seek out a trainer as soon as you get word from your vet
