meggie is a very gentle and loving dog. Now acting
strangely sometimes aggressive. stomach seems tender upon touching and she growls when touch.
x-rays perfect, not even arthritis. blood drawn perfect. Slightly listless, tired looking and if was person would say pail, feces fine. No energy then sudden burst of aggression maybe once a week.
nothing new in home. Any idea? Vet put dog on rimadyl incase of hidden pain. But, would like answer to her anger situation as has attacked my smaller dog. Way, way, out of character for her.
Unbelieveable for her. I have had her 4 years, she is 6 now no aggression at all before. Must be medical reason. Please help me, i do not have
finances for exploritory testing cannine does not need. thank you

Did they test for tick borne diseases such as lyme disease? This can give unexplained episodes of aggression. My vet does a heartworm test that includes 2 tick borne illnesses. They test all dogs even though we live in the city and may never have observed a tick on our dogs (you never know when you might have missed one).

switch vets!! the drooling is a definitive symptom of something.. from accidental poisoning to possibly rabies.. do you always know where she is?? You could ask your vet to give you antibiotics to treat LYME disease ( YOU DO NOT NEED the expensive lyme test) Lyme treatment in dogs is simply a course of amoxicillin cost would be about $10. Pain causes aggression, I hope your pal is not suffering.. keep us posted - we care..

You need to take her to another vet. There is something wrong with your dog. If your vet can't find out what it is, hopefully another one can.
