I’m sorry about your dobie, that sucks.
But thank you very much for the information. I had never heard of this.
Oh thanks, that’s nice of you to say.
I don’t think anyone who has not experienced this problem is aware of it.
It’s not a “good dog, bad dog” thing like other behavior problems.
The poor dog loses proper brain function and man do they get evil and mean for the few seconds the episode goes on.
One really has no option but to euthanize.
He didn’t even die easily.
I gave him all the pre-appointment drugs the vet had given us, and the dog still was ambulatory when we got there.
We did it in the backyard at the vet’s, as he was a big dog.
When the vet went to give him the first shot in the hindquarter, the dog got up and got mean and the vet only got half the dose in him. It was harrowing right to the end.
Not at all like the peaceful ends our other dogs have had.
The whole thing was a nightmare.
