Looking for some guidance please.
We have an almost 8 year old Morkie, she has been the sweetest little girl,.so loving and affectionate.
We had a baby and moved house 2 years ago and the dog was fantastic through it all.
We've never had any issues with her until about 7 months ago.
In the space of a week she snapped at me and bit me whilst I tried to remove her from barking out the window and then a wwek later bolted out the front door and made an attempt to run away.
Since then, we have had an absolute nightmare with her. Around the baby she is constantly panting, scratching, digging, hiding, jumping into the fire and presses! The baby isn't that bothered by her.
We've had a behaviourist in and she believed she was in pain. The dog has tested negative for Cushings and had blood work done, nothing showed up. NSAID's and xanax haven't worked either.
She had since become more aggressive with us and snaps at us when we try to stop her jumping into presses or the oven!
We are concerned that she will snap or make an attempt to bite the baby.
She's scheduled to have scans tomorrow.
My question is if nothing shows up on the scan, what is our next step? We'll have tried to find a source of pain and at our wits end with stress. Has anyone encountered similar?
