Bobbi says:

I have two male English Buklldogs, one is 19months neutered. the other is 9months not neutered.
The older of the two has been attacking the other, I tried the comamd NO loudly, my husband yells NO, I have sprayed water on them. this has no effect. I’m calling my Vet today. I’m affraid one of them is going to get seriously hurt. The 9month old is not backing down, and like I said the older one always just runs over to him and attacks.

Bobbi,
How recently did you get your second dog? If he grew up from puppyhood in your home, it is going to be harder to pinpoint the problem. Think about anything that has changed recently – a child returning to school and spending less time with her buddy, a new job, different sleeping arrangements, etc. It may also be as simple as the fact that the 9 month old dog seems like a big threat since he isn’t neutered.

Calling your vet is a good idea, since he may notice a physical problem that is causing the change in your dog’s behavior. If your dog is healthy, your vet can probably provide you with a referral to a local animal behaviorist.

NBC reported tonight that two different studies showed that rats developed tumors around microchips. Since many dog owners microchip their dogs to help find them if they are ever lost, this is a big concern for our canine pals. NBC did say that the study is inconclusive for dogs, since rats are so much smaller. Hopefully, there will be more news about this soon.
