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.

Chip is a big fat heroic matchmaking dog. We fell in love at first sight, but I already had a beautiful Sheltie named DJ. Chip was determined to become part of my family.
One summer day, while dog-sitting Chip, he tried to save my life while I was swimming at the waterfalls and almost drowned during the attempt.
Later that summer, while my dog DJ and I were leaving, he decided to make a run for it. I was calling DJ and suddenly I heard the clicking of heels running across the kitchen linoleum, down the deck, around the fence, finally landing with a thud in the passenger seat of my car. The owners said "take him for a sleepover" and that was that.
A short while later I moved to a farm. During one of our walks Chip bolted after a cat onto farm property. Petrified he'd get shot I ran after him and almost knocked over the cat's owner, a lovely man named John, who I later married. I can't thank Chip enough.
