abker17 Posted May 25, 2003 Share Posted May 25, 2003 Abby, just now as I was reading new posts, growled at my moms 17 yr. old cat. She was laying there sorta lookin' around and when the cat walked by she growled real deep in her throat. She's never done this before. :-? Usually she just picks on the cats, sorta makin fun of them. Should I be worried? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mouseatthebusstop Posted May 25, 2003 Share Posted May 25, 2003 I would have just said in a stern voice "thats enough! who do you think you are growling at" a little repremand :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abker17 Posted May 25, 2003 Author Share Posted May 25, 2003 Last night, right after she growled at the cat, I called her to come upstairs. She didn't come so I went over to her and said ''Abby, come upstairs.'' in a stern voice. Then she growled at me! I've had Abby for 2 and a half years and that was the first time she had growled at me. Then she slowly got up and sulked up the stairs. I think she was grouchy yesterday because she's been fine this morning. I [u]hope[/u] that she was just grouchy. :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaLQ Posted May 25, 2003 Share Posted May 25, 2003 Awww shucks, I opened this message thinking it was a recipe :roll: :lol: If your animal is acting weird all of a sudden, best to get it checked by a vet just to make sure there's no illness causing it :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
courtnek Posted May 25, 2003 Share Posted May 25, 2003 It sounds like Abby's not feeling well. I would have her checked at the vet. this would be considered abnormal for her, and there may be medical or even food reasons. Dogs, like people, develop allergies out of nowhere.

courtnek Posted May 25, 2003 Share Posted May 25, 2003 Has she, by any chance, been nibbling at or scratching at her feet? You want want to watch her about a half hour after eats, and see if her feet are twitching or if she is nibbling at them. That's a distinct sign of food allergies, and can cause them to suddenly become aggressive for no reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abker17 Posted May 25, 2003 Author Share Posted May 25, 2003 She's always licking, and sometimes even chews on her feet! :-? I thought it was just because she gets bored easily. Hmmm, I'll see if I can make an appointment to the vet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
