Oooh! She looks just like my dog Dave! But her white 'naughty spot' is a little bigger  :005:

Dave was a very feisty aggressive pup (even just saying 'no' or 'Ah ah' provoked a full on attack with growling and biting) but he's fine now - although I'll always have to be a little careful with him. I suspect your problems are a little different but 'puppyhood' can be responsible for a lot of behaviour that does eventually fade. Hope it does for your little lady too :luv:

Keeping everything crossed for you!

Glad to hear you seem to have turned a corner, and that your vet is going to look into all the potential health issues...  :D

Lily is  :luv: and while I'm sure you have a lot of work ahead of you, I'm sure it will be worth it...

Fantastic to read your latest posts - will be thinking of you on Friday and hoping she flies through the op  :luv:

She's a gorgeous little girl  :luv:


You could start her on some homeopathic arnica to help with her bruising and healing after the ops - this can be started in advance of the op and can really help  ;)

I was going to suggest this too - Arnica is magic stuff.  It can really reduce bruising so may help with her discomfort after the op.  No problem giving it with her other meds either  ;)

I have just read this thread, how lucky is Lily to have such caring owners :D, i hope her op on Friday is uncomplicated. It would seem she must have some pain if better with Metacam.
So pleased you found COL, i wonder who that girl you met on your walk and recommended the site was?

Oh gosh, I've just read your post about her tooth - I don't know if you saw what I wrote earlier:

I woke thinking about your little girlie this morning and something popped into my head. One of my pups had a puppy tooth that was growing in the wrong place and he was a very feisty puppy (he's a lovely softy now) but he seemed to change overnight as his adult teeth came through. My point is, the puppy tooth that was in the wrong place was obviously causing him a lot of discomfort but the vet wanted to avoid operating on him as the adult tooth was likely to be in the right place.

It might be worth getting all her teeth checked as something like that (sudden onset of tooth pain) could be the reason why her behaviour deteriorated so rapidly. It's a long shot but worth ruling out :D

Good luck

Dave had a lower K9 that was growing into the roof of his mouth and created a hole... by the time we discovered it, we decided to leave it to see how his adult tooth came through but in hindsight, his behaviour changed so dramatically when his adult teeth came through (in the right place) it must have really been bugging him - tooth pain is awful when you understand it so for a dog it must be 100 times worse.

I'm keeping everything crossed that you get a similar result for your girlie.. Dave was REALLY aggressive but he's not as energetic as some cockers so I guess that may have been why he wasn't quite so extreme as your case, but to highlight it, I did have to keep him separate from my 4 yr old son for the first 8 months.

Good luck for Friday!
