OMG that sounds terrible Shelley Freds never been one to bite before it does make you wonder if its something else thats going on with him CDRM doesnt usually make them aggressive does it Was it a proper bite or just a warning because he was being possessive Hes always been a big softy That could of been bad if the 2 gsds had started fighting I hated it when my two had that phase of fighting i kept a tennis racket handy to block Mickey if he started anything it was really useful to break fights up you wont need anything like that and he calms down What happened when he went for Tia do you think he may have been in pain Its horrible when they act out of character like that

My lovely friend works at a vets as a receptionist and she got one of the vets speak to me tonight about Fred
She seems to think that Fred's slightly arthritic legs are now more arthritic and this is where the pain is stemming from, she suggested I go back to my vets and get Fred out on a low dose long term metacam, and ask for 6 monthly blood tests to check his liver ...providing the metacam makes a difference with him it won't make a difference to the CDRM, but it will make him more comfortable otherwise ...so feeling a little hopeful now
He's been to hydrotherapy today, he was NOT happy lol but he shall continue to go, he's due to have his muscles measured again soon to see if there's any difference
Fred's always been a grumpy bugger Bren but never like that towards any of us ...I haven't taken it to heart anyway, I know it's not his fault He's still my baby and will always be
Wow what lorz lol

I have loads left from before so I'm going to put him on a low dose and monitor him alongside the walks on lead and no running ... Then I'll be back at the vets with my verdict :) :)

it does make you wonder if its something else thats going on with him 
CDRM doesnt usually make them aggressive does it 
I hated it when my two had that phase of fighting 
i kept a tennis racket handy to block Mickey if he started anything 
it was really useful to break fights up 
you wont need anything like that and he calms down 
it won't make a difference to the CDRM, but it will make him more comfortable otherwise
