yeah, find another vet. Luckily ours is really good and willing to help in any way. They love Riley and he doesn't snap on strangers or other dogs. He only does this inside with me and my wife. When we encounter other people, he is himself, very playful. He is even extremely submissive with others. He rolls over almost immediately once a stranger decides to give him attention. He even ran up to a miniature greyhound, they sniffed, then Riley rolled on his back. The greyhound's owner said he never seen that before and jokingly said "I don't know if he wants to play or if he's playing dead", lol.
Anyways, fact of the matter, this is an isolated issue that appeared overnight. It gets VERY frustrating for us and he really turns into a crazy dog. But it's obviously something that comes and goes (hormonal) because one minutes he's doing that, the next he's rolling over to be rubbed. And, he's his normal submissive self outside with others.
You'll be alright, last night I just about went nuts, but after talking to the vet and realizing that this is abnormal and it can be fixed, I feel much better and willing to take my time correcting this. |
