 Autism in Yorkies?
My little Lolly is 5. I have had her almost three months. I got her from a breeder because she was not successful at having litters. She was bred twice and I believe the puppies were still born or died shortly. She is a love and wonderful with people, but awful with other dogs. I have hired a trainer, but we aren't making any headway. At first I thought she was just a very alpha dog, but the trainer feel that if Lolly were a person she would be borderline autistic. The trainer said she never saw such a nervous dog. Lolly never plays-has no interest in any toys or treats. I had two little dogs here on Saturday and Lolly was terrified. I am contacting a vet who specializes in behaviors. It seems impossible to modify her behavior because there is no way to reward her. She has never even picked up a toy in her mouth.
Did anybody ever hear of this kind of thing? Can meds help? We gave her Resccue Remedy but it did not do a thing. |
