Hope this is the help that's needed - I would think that if the pain is from her jaw then anything around her head or attempts to go near that area would be met with some displeasure.

Well done you though for sticking by her

It's all booked in for Friday - having her tooth removed, allergy tests, blood tests and spaying!  Hannah is also going to assess her generally.


as she's also being spayed i would ask about prophylactic antibiotics as well - any ops to do with the teeth also carry risks re infection of spay wound

All the best for Friday.

She is beautiful. So glad that things have taken a positive turn - hope it continues and you get your girl back full time. All credit to your vet and behaviouist - as well as you - for properly persevereing and investigating all options. If only other doggies were as lucky as Lily  :luv: :luv:

Reading this thread, it does sound SO much like my Alfie. His agression suddenly increased over a week or so, and we could "tell" he was in pain, even though 2 vets told us it was behavioural problems (which there are too, to be fair to them, but we knew they werent the cause of this sudden increase)

A few weeks on the painkillers has seen an enormous reduction in his agression, although it will still flare up if he overdoes it on a walk, or gets too carried away with his playfighting with Purdey. Generally he is a different dog. Tomorrow we are taking him back to the vets for our "1 month on" check up so hopefully now he will be able to see the painkillers have made, he will look harder at the physical problems, which I am pretty sure are related to his dodgy knee ligament!

I really hope that the tooth problem is the answer and that you continue to see a change in your gorgeous girl.

Thanks once again for all your kind messages - I'm still stunned by the response to our desperation on Sunday.  It just shows what a caring bunch COL are!!   :luv:

Lily seems to be coming on leaps and bounds -- no growling at all today, apart from 'play growls', and she knew from the word 'go' what to expect in the way of getting fed and has just accepted it!  :D  The change in her is phenomenal and she is letting us fuss her more and more, actually comes looking for it now which is the old Lily, and is just happy again.  :D  It suggests she's been in pain on and off for a while, and even David has said since going on the Metacam and seeing a change in her behaviour isn't a coincidence.  Long may it continue!  (She's even getting her nose in on this and helping me type it!!  :005:)

Hubby was able to put her lead on her again today but we haven't progressed to the car harness yet!  Maybe tomorrow, but maybe not, as we set her back.

Will keep you posted.

Thanks again. xx
