She thinks she’s a meerkat 😅
We have a new 6month old baby (male) who is only 3lbs (never had one this small). we have 3 other maltesers - all boys ages 13-15, 8-12 lbs. The puppy has been home for three weeks now and at first one of the older dogs continue to snap at him and so we tried to separate them so that the puppy does not jump on the older dogs, compete for food or toys, etc. The other night we were all sitting on the couch and it seemed as though everyone was resting as usual when unprovoked one of the older dogs turned around and aggressively snapped at the puppy whom I was holding in my arms. The puppy started screaming and wouldn't stop and because of the screaming one of the other dogs jumped over my husband, and also tried to snap. I could not see that the puppy was hurt, but it really scared him and me. Since then, I have been a nervous wreck and cannot let them anywhere near the puppy while we are on the couch. They seem to do OK outside as we have a very large backyard and the puppy does not really come close to them. At this point, I am at a loss as I have never dealt with this before with all of our other dogs. I don't know how I can feel safe again to let the puppy interact with the older dogs as I am afraid for his safety constantly.
We had all of the dogs checked out at the vet because of this and nothing serious was found. The vet is actually recommending that I muzzle train the older dogs for a period of time. She has now put the older dogs on trazodone. This makes me sad for my older dogs and fearful for the pup.
i have a call in to a dog behaviorist to come in to help but they are not available for a few weeks!
Any advice would be most appreciated!
Adopted this little fella in 2020. He’s I think between 10-12 yrs old now only 5lbs very sweet, very clingy, and brave. He also has a heart issue but so far doing well on meds for 4 years now!
It’s actually more red in real life especially under her eyes . I wipe them daily with tear stain wipes but it doesn’t seem to help much. Also it’s a little red around her mouth even though I only give her bottle fed mineral water
Owner says its a pure maltese so
Ever wish you could understand your dog? If only we could get this helmet to work correctly.
Inspired by Rick and Morty Season 1 Episode 2 - Lawnmower Dog
How do they know how to turn on those “puppy dog eyes?”
Would love to see pics of your pups costumes too 💕
