Bone Cancer In Dogs

Question by Dutch: New aggression issue with my Greyhound dogs. Any advice?
I have two adopted ex-racer Greyhounds. These two, I adopted together about 8 months ago after my first beloved Grey died of osteosarcoma. They are both male. My fawn male injured his foot and needed a couple of stitches just a few days ago. Ever since this happened my other black/white male has been aggressive to him. The black/white male has always been more dominant, but now he barks and growls at my fawn alot. It is generally over a toy or a treat but he has growled at him over just walking by. They are both VERY sweet dogs and very, very loving. Does anyone have any ideas? I know alot of factors can cause this, but I just gave a brief description. Thanks in advance.

Not sure but maybe the dominant male senses vulnerability in your injured dog and is reasserting his dominance.. Perhaps speak to your vet,watch them carefully, see if it improves as your injured dog heals.. Good luck

Give your answer to this question below!

She had an aggressive form of bone cancer, we had her on pain meds and she was doing just fine. I woke up this morning and she was seizing in her crate. I got her out and she went limp. I could still feel a heartbeat, though she didnt seem to be breathing. I was going to do CPR but she seized again, and died in my arms. The vet is going to a necropsy, to see why, but they fear it was just poor health. I just dont understand it. She was on Morphine for a few weeks now with little or no problem other than being really sleepy. We have been keeping her comfortable and on a low exercise and activity regimen. Shes always had poor health but this was so unexpected. The vet really couldn’t see much when we took her in, no stroke though he couldnt rule out a heartattack quite yet. He thinks it was just “her time to go” as he put it. I trust him very much, but I still feel shocked. I havent even cried yet, I did love her and though shes been more of a pain in the rear, most of her life, I had a sense of duty and connection to her that ran deep. I would never intentionally put her in harms way. Did anyone else do do this on Morphine?
*dog … sorry for the misspell i was in a hurry
my 6 other dogs are doing ok… though Peekaboo is constantly sniffing and laying by her crate. Her and Peek didn’t get along well and its quite odd shes doing this. Makes me a bit teary.
