The Pet Thread

[goodal]

Monday morning our little 10lb, corgie/dachsund mix, Zoe, decided to lose her mind and attack my 12yr old boxer Jake. Jake is my dog and is the most easy going, lovable 55lb furr ball you could ever meet. The attack was completely unprovoked and she dang near made him bleed out. My wife sped him to the Vet and they stitched him up pretty good. He still looks rough though. I told her to get rid of Zoe or my 9mm would do it for her. She dropped her off at the animal shelter Tuesday. Everybody cried but me. I always hated that dog. I took this pick a few years ago. Hes gotten a bit more grey in his snout since then.

^ Beautiful dog

That's bizarre. I wonder what provoked it?

 

[goodal]

Thanks. Hes actually very dirty in that pick but struck that pose on accident and I happened to have my camera ready. We have no idea what set her off. When I left Jake was sprawled out by the door and I let Zoe out the garage. My wife heard them at it 5-10 min later. When she went out he was still sprawled out in his spot bleeding to death and Zoe was tearing him up. She doesn't have any pups and food was no where around. Just one of those psycotic female episodes I guess.

small dogs can be super vicious. Hope your he heals quickly. Boxers are one of my favorite dog breeds.

Our neighbors have had several dachsunds over the years. All of them were/are unpredictable nasty little dogs. I'm not a fan too bad Jake is so docile he should've kicked her a$$. I always liked Corgis though. How old was Zoe? did you have them both for awhile?

I hope Jake makes a full recovery.

Any dog the size of a football shall be treated as such.

I couldn't agree more Dex

It's kind of a good that Jake didn't fight back. He could have killed zoe. Then where would he be?

fixt, since that applies to cats too

I've since learned that dachsunds are one the most, if not the most, aggressive, mean dog breeds. We had her for 5 yrs or so. They would occasionally get into it over food, but nothing serious. If Jake would have killed her I would have given him an extra helping of livers and said "Good boy, Jake dog. Good boy.". Have I said I hated that dog?

Cat people- so our cat has started drooling a few times a day.. It's not what I would call "foamy". She hasn't been outside in 2 years? Taking her to vet tomorrow but is that a major sign of rabies?

^She has done the math and decided that she can take you. She figures you're lunch.

Not sure what's wrong with your cat. We have two cats, as my autistic kid freaks out around dogs but loves cats. Otherwise we would have dogs.

Your dog matches your couch.

If she hasn't been outside in that long, than I would think rabies is unlikely, it could be caused by a tooth issue, upset stomach or something more serious like liver or kidney disease. Hope that it's not anything major!
