I've been following your thread Heather, with a feeling of sadness for you all - with young babies/children & dogs in our house too, I understand the importance of them all getting along & felt for you when reading your original post  :'( :'(
I am so relieved to hear there was something wrong with Fred that left him totally out of character - with the right meds & treatment, I really hope you get your boy back to his usual self soon & he proves to you, that all will be as it was before  :angel:  :luv:
......maybe he was giving off subtle signals, that he wasn't too well before this episode with your baby   :dunno:
will keep all paws crossed for some good news soon - hugs to you all & hope you fell better, now you know roughly what you're dealing with  :luv:  :bigarmhug: :luv:

Lindsey x  :-*
If your dog thinks you're the best.....don't seek a second opinion!!

Emily's been crawling for about 4 months now, so not a sudden thing. 

yes but I'll bet she's getting faster and has more confidence than before

we expect a lot more of our dogs than we should sometimes and need to work harder to avoid situations

Couldn't agree more. Whatever the reason for his outburst, it's certainly made me take stock and think more from Freds point of view x

Thing is not to panic though and hopefully you'll get there with the right advice from those who've been through it.

Oh god what an emotional roller coaster for you :o :'( :'(

I just wanted to say that you are a great mum (cocker and human  ;)) some people would not have looked into the reasons for his behaviour and done something hasty or horrible  :'(. Lots of positive thoughts for Fred  :-* :-*.
