Re: how to deal with dog agression

I know it sounds crazy, but there is actually a thing called 'springer rage.' I have seen it a few times working at the animal emergency hospital (i'm a technician).

In the cases we had the dogs seemed to have 'lost their mind.' They would pace, hyper salivate, seem agitated, bark, bite, snap, etc. Sadly all of the cases I saw ended in euthanasia. Hopefully your dog has something else!

I don't ever remember them having any issues with urinating, but the last case I saw was about 3-4 years ago. I would 100% get him checked out by a vet asap.

Good Luck!

PS, I just did some looking up of springer rage syndrome in some of my vet books. Looks like it can be VERY difficult to diagnose and sometimes is thought to be linked with some type of seizure disorder. They reccommend getting your dog checked out by a vet and possibly following up with a board certified veterinary behaviorist.
