Pain aggression in dogs – Pet tip 257
Unfortunately the following two scenarios occur from time to time: You’re innocently petting your cat or dog when all of a sudden your pet bites you. The same reaction can happen when you pick up your cat or dog the way you always do, when all of a sudden it bites you. What is going on here? Your pet NEVER bites you, and now that you are trying to show it some love, it bites you. Has your pet gone mad? What might be going on here is pain induced aggression.
It seems so obvious after you bring your pet to a veterinarian to figure out what is going on, but it may be as simple as pain induced aggression. Pain induced aggression means that your pet has exhibited an aggressive behaviour because it is in pain. This is especially common in older pets that may be suffering from arthritis or perhaps one of their internal organs is bruised or diseased.

I didn't have Sykura for very long, she was still young and she had belonged to a friend of mine who couldn't keep her anymore. When she came to me she was skittish and afraid of many things. Never the less, I spent a lot of time with her and it wasn't long before she warmed up to me. She was more of a timid rat, but as time went on she opened up and started to act like a rat should. We grew attached to one another and I feel horribly for what happened to her.
Rest in peace, girlie.
