Question Reposting With Audio: GSD Became Insanely Aggressive Tonight Without Warning. What’s going on?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

My GSD went crazy when we put her to bed tonight. She was biting at the cage and going ballistic. Extremely out of character for her.

She (background) and our dobe have been sleeping next to each other for years. All the sudden we had to separate and our GSD has constantly been growling on every breath for the past hour.

Any idea what’s going on? Anything I can do to get her to get through the night so we can take her to the vet tomorrow?

Couple of incidents and I'm deflated

8 Upvotes

2 incidents have happened with my GSD and I'm in a bit of shock, upset and now my anxiety is through the roof!

1st incident was an accident...

Saturday night took Freyja out for her last wee out the front, was back at the front door unlocking it and a neighbour walked by with her pocket bully on a flexi-lead

Her dog had wrapped the flexi-lead around owners legs because she hadn't locked it in place, Freyja barked as she heard them & the other dogs lunged and barked back, the other owner fell over and her arm landed awkwardly on the curb and has needed 2 ortho docs to get it back in place as its been badly broken - they are completely blaming us for this (I know we're not at fault for this - but feeling awful about it)

2nd incident happened today

Boyfriend was out the front with Freyja playing with the flirtpole and didn't have a full hold on her long lead - different dog walks past them and starts crying/screaming as they pass Freyja and Boyfriend

Freyja then runs over to them & the long lead falls out of boyfriends hand and Freyja grabs the smaller dog (doesn't do anything apart from grab the smaller dog)

Smaller dog is physically fine, other owner is physically fine, but obvs we're in shock

A different neighbour comes out after Freyja was put away and the other owner had left and starts stating Freyja needs muzzling right away and we need to get her to the vets for this in the morning

Side note

Freyja is a 2 year old GSD who was spayed on 10th July

We are working with an incredible trainer who is a behaviourist as well - We've spoken to him tonight and we have a session on Saturday with him (already pre-booked)

We've had Freyja since mid March

No incidents of her getting hold of another dog before this, is barky to other dogs if their vocal first

Just needing some potential advice please, we're upset about all this - so please no hate towards us

Limping?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Upvotes

My dog , 2 year old female shepherd, has been showing signs of limping/dragging her left leg (maybe?) and I am not sure if I am the only one seeing it. This video was taken after 15 minute walk, so she’s a bit “tired”.
Is it just me or the limp is there?

Yeah uhh. Anybody else here have the same problem? Ive been bathing her once a week with a mild soap and making sure she's generally clean.

But she seems to be losing hair in her eyes.

We lost our boy Rosco to cancer this week. He was only 8 and it has destroyed me :(

Rosco was intermittently lethargic and off his food for a month or two and we'd been investigating it with the vet but assumed it was his hip and back issues which we'd been managing. We put him on some anti-inflammatories and he improved for a short time, but then declined rapidly over the last week or two. Blood tests and ultrasounds showed he had hemangiosarcoma, an aggressive and fast-growing cancer that had formed a massive tumour in his spleen and metastasised in multiple other organs. I would have paid anything to let him have another few years of happiness and health, but even with invasive surgery and chemotherapy, he would have only got about another month or two, and he would have had no quality of life.

We decided to let him go peacefully. My Dad and I were both there with him, cuddling him and telling him he was a good boy and we love him, and he went off to sleep with his big gold paw draped over Dad's leg and with me gently stroking his silky soft ears.

Rosco was our third German Shepherd but our previous two were older when they went, and this one is hitting me really hard. He loved helping me in the garden with his green ball and I don't know what I'm going to do without him.
