I thought he was receiving treatment?

I think hes having ear drops? I asked elsewhere in the post if it was working.
Though there was a piccy of jake yesterday & it was still looking much much too sore,-if it was my dog by now i would have expected it to have looked less weepy /angrey or id have been back to the vet.

I thought they gave him a spot on treatment?

Mish has hit the nail on the head. I have nothing to add.

Hugs to you chick, and good luck with sorting Jake's health and behavioural problems.

We all know this is NOT normal for Jake

Oh really? Must have missed that. Silly me
Maybe i will shut up then , Although with advocate the owner would get a pack so they can repeat the treatment monthly.
Why did i think he had ear drops???

Is stronghold a spot on?does anyone know?

Lozzi what treatment did the vets give him?

Pop a trail lead on him so if you get into the situation again he will be able to be moved from wherever you want him to be.He wears it all the time.

Don't let your BF anywhere near him---men tend to use force more than women do and you have already said he has an anger problem, if he gets bitten he WILL get angry.

Jake is being a dog and you didn't listen to him.

You are also putting a lot of emotion out at the moment and Jake is mopping it up for you. He is confused, he isn't sure if you are his protector or he has to be yours.

Getting on the bed---any bed is fine if you want it to be but he must get off when asked, the trail lead will help but when you use it DON'T look at him and always give him an escape route away from you. Same with asking him to move anywhere, ask irst then if he doesn't move pick the lead up and move him with no eye contact and no anger.

You have broken a trust he had that you would understand him and it will take a while to repair it. I stress DON'T involve your bf in this, it will be enough for Jake to cope with repairing your relationship.

Lastly----he is a dog he doesn't bear grudges, he doesn't hate you and he was trying to communicate. Don't stop loving him.

Brill post rune!

I think he was given a spot on, but you rightly say if it was advocate he would of had a pack of three. Didnt see a pic of him yesterday sorry.

I personally dont think this dog was reacting to pain at all, I dont think his eyes/ears would make him behave like this or they would of done previously. I think he knows he can get away with things and is trying to see just how far he can go.

I hope you`re feeling a little less sore now. I expect it will take a few days for the shock to lessen - but it will. Pamper yourself a bit and don`t beat yourself up.
Take your time and in the meantime try to be calm and logical around your dog (difficult I know).
I totally agree with Rune. He`s only a dog, you know? As far as he was concerned you were being out of character, not him. So he reacted.
A House line and a bit of space all round might be best?

I would agree i think its more of a training /relationship issue, though a dog being uncomfy isnt going to help. i suffer from bad skin all over my hands & wrists, im itchy every afternnoon & eveing, i will tear my skin off It isnt painful but it isnt pleasent either!!!!!!!
