So we took the advise to spay her cos everyone telling me that she would be more mellow after that. I am not sure if there is anything related cos she has been even more aggressive with dogs passing by, my husband was saying he was having a hard time walking her cos she noW not only pulling the leash to charge at other dogs,she does that to anything that is around us. Now I am not sure if I should neuter my male pup. I have a female lack lab that has the sweetest temp with the family but she never allowed visitors or dogs.

Please see your vet ASAP as it can be resolved if meds are discontinued. To Angela S: your dog has signs of steroid-induced cushings.

She was diagnosed with a "benign mediastinal mass" and "esophageal stricture". She has been on prednisolone for 2 years: 1 pill every other day for the 1st year & 1/2, then increased to 2 pills every other day for the last 6 months. Yes, she is always hungry (& has been so her entire life!) and she pees all the time (wears diapers now) BUT she has a good quality of life & appears "happy". Her blood tests (twice/year) are good. (She has also been on thyroid medication for over 2 years with no problems.) My other dog (now 13) started gagging 1 year ago and was diagnosed with "severe tracheal collapse". She has been on prednisolone for 1 year, 2 pills every other day. Blood tests are good. She also pees a lot and wants to eat non-stop but she seems to be "happy" as well. I used to be afraid of steroids. Not anymore! Bless 'em! My dog (now 14) started coughing uncontrollably 2 years ago. She was diagnosed with a “benign mediastinal mass” and “esophageal stricture”.

After spaying I have to keep her separated from the other female canines --- my happy loving family is now on pins and needles because of this behavior; and only after spaying! Even on walks now she is aggressive --- whereas before she loved everyone, just wanted pats and sniffs --- now she growls and jumps at other dogs & cats. It is heart breaking -- I do not see a solution on this page, but can see this is definintely a problem in the FEMALE CANINES!!!!!

None are "intact". Bella, 1 of the 1yr old fems, is my problem child. She was with me from 7wks and was spayed at 4 months. Arlie came to us as a rescue at 10 months and was spayed then. These 2 girls are 2 weeks apart in age. I do know that Bella was an assertive puppy, would this have grown into aggression as she matured? Hard to say. Bella's aggression started when Arlie came into the house but isn't always directed at Arlie. A few times she has gone after the 13 yr old mellow mixed breed. Just shortly after i had Arlie spayed 2 months ago, i saw an articale on the physcological affects of spay/nueter. This was found on "Life with dogs" link through Face book. Around the same time i had a chance conversation with the manager of a rescue ranch in our area. He was in the process of training a new cattle dog and mentioned that he only wants females for this work. When the subject of spaying came up, he explained that he has had a hard time finding a vet willing to take only his dogs uteres. He insists that the overies be left in tact because then they don't get, his word "bitchy". No worry of unwanted puppies, and no worry of what looks for all the world like "surgical menopause". I cant help but think that this makes sense. I will NEVER allow one of my dogs to reproduce, however, i am rethinking the traditional methods of spaying.

We have a female miniature schnauzer and a female mix that got along fine until the female mix got spayed at age 5. Now they literally try to kill each other. It is so bad that we have to keep them apart 24 hours a day. Yesterday one broke out of her kennel and attacked the other and I had to break it up and now I'm literally bitten and eat up on both hands and arms and bruised all over. It is a miracle I got them torn apart. The larger one would have killed the smaller one. Why did they start hating each other after one was spayed? Please help. This is tearing our family apart. One dog is mine, and the other is my husband's. We've all been a family for over a year, and this has been happening for 2 months now. I'm desperate for help. Please help me!

I think it is the worst thing I ever did for him. The side effects after 8 years are amazingly bad. He has thinning of his fur, frequent urination, always thirsty. He also does not respond to any other types of natural remedies, because his immune system is so damaged from the medication (vanectly p). I would highly suggest trying everything you can from a naturopathic vet before using steriods.

Our little Yorkie was speyed at 12 months, after her first season. Before, she got along with our other bitch but has not been the same since. She fights with the other dog and it does not bother her that she comes off worse. She can be grumpy with us and my husband got bitten breaking up afight. She really has not been the same since. We got the other girl speyed on the vets advice to calm things down and it has helped a little. We have got her on 75mg of Zyklene a day on vets advice. This has calmed her but she is not the same dog as she was. I know what the statistics say but think very carefully about speying, I love her dearly but she can be difficult. I wish I had never got her done and am wondering if there is such a thing as dog HRT, anyone out there know? Hi, this is my experience.

She was the sweetest dog I had ever met. She tolerated our two kids, 6 and 9 years old, our two cats and all the neighborhood dogs. Today she seemed like the same dog but showing no body language at all would suddenly begin growling and actually snap at me and my family while being pet or just being near us. I am hoping that it is from the unnatural feeling of post-surgery and pain and will improve with healing and time, but it is alarming and rather painful that our loyal companion is acting this way towards us. Please if anyone has experienced this let me know if it WILL improve or not... It would break my heart to take her to the pound or even worse if she injured one of my children! We love our dog and she is a member of our family, this is an extremely sudden, dramatic change in behavior, I don't even want to pet her anymore because of the constant thought that she might bite. Was it abuse at the vet's office (My business will never be there again BTW) or could it be a hormonal imbalance? Please someone help before we have to remove our beloved family member!!! amandelx@gmail.com To Carla and Abril,
