We have a 19 months old whippet we have had since a pup.
She has been brilliant and I love her very much. She is currently cuddled up to my legs on the bed and a total delight in the house. She is a bundle of energy out of the house but she fit our family so well. Even when we lost our home and were forced to move into a tiny flat she has been no problem (she gets regular walks)
My problem is not with her at all.
My problem is dd who has aspergers amongst other thing has become very agressive over the last six months. She is absolutely exploding, lashing out and throwing things, screaming and banging around the house. While she has not intentionally physically gone for the dog she has caught her with things thrown at me and screamed at her. I am disciplining dd and we are waiting to see camhs and attempting to keep them separate but I am in a tiny flat with an aggressive teenager who is bigger and stronger than me and going beserk.
I love our dog, I would be absolutely heartbroken if I were to lose her but she is started to be scared when dd explodes, even if it is just verbally and it isn't fair on her. I am also worried that dd may unintentionally hurt her.
I don't know what the hell to do 😢
If you're worried about your pet's health, please speak to a vet or qualified professional.
