My mother has a 16 year old male rat terrier. My sister has come to stay with her for the past 2 years, she has a 6 year old basset hound ( female) and a 5 year old Red Heeler/Pit mix ( male). During the past few months, the terrier has become very aggressive towards the Heeler. If the Heeler is laying down, all is fine but the moment he gets up to move, the terrier attacks him ( luckily terrier has few teeth and can't hurt him) The Heeler is submissive and runs from the terrier. Only thing we can think of is that his arthritis is painful and that is making him aggressive. We ordered Dasuquin and are hoping that helps ease the pain so he won't be so aggressive. The only time he attacks the Basset is when she is too close but I feel bad for the Heeler because he is so loving and doesn't understand.We've had the terrier at the vet and she suggested tranquilizers but we don't want to drug him up like that. Keeping fingers crossed with hopes near future is more calming
