We have had Mickey, our Greyhound for 2 and a half years and he is generally a lovely, gentle dog and has only ever growled/snapped if one of the children accidently fell on him.
A few days ago my Brother looked after kids while i popped out. When i got back he said Mickey had growled at DD1 when she was sat near him on the sofa. Then snapped at DS2 when he went near. I assumed maybe DD1 had put her elbow on him or something and he had warned her with a growl. But they all said she was just sat near him.
Today he growled at DD2 when he was led on floor and she was on the sofa. Again i thought her feet were on him or something but she was sure they weren't.
Now tonight, I was on the sofa with feet up. DD2 next to me and DS2 next to her. DS1 was on the computer chair.
Mickey looked up at me/us and started growling then he suddenly snapped. I shouted at him and he went and led on the other sofa.
Now i am really worried about him but moreso the safety of DC being around him incase he does it again.
I will try and phone the vets tomorrow i think but was wondering if anyone had any ideas as to what could be going on.
Very at the thought of having to lose him. He is normally so loving and friendly.
