Blood shot eyes - suspicious

[red98vett]

I really agree with Carol Jean - I think the signs are there - IF My girls ever showed behavior like you described..... I would NEVER EVER suspect my husband because I know he would never do something like that.....it sounds like you don't have the same comfort level in your relationship and since he is only a boyfriend - it may be time to find someone else who you can TRUST.

Any new updates? Was the nanny cam installed yet? I'm hoping for the best for you and your little pup.

The bottom line for me is~ My Bailey is my baby, my son,and if I had a child and I experienced what you have mentioned, with a babysitter, they would be gone,, without hesitation. Better safe than sorry later. So, with Bailey being my baby, you now know what I would do. Sure or unsure, GONE.

That is done in fear and submission not jealousy-- Something is definitely going on here when you don't see

That poor baby is traumatized by him for some reason- Get to the bottom of this- (get a camera or what ever you need ) before something happens to her that can't be undone. God forbid if a friend laid a hand on one of our babies- Noah & I would both be in court on MURDER charges.

Protect the baby !!!!!!!

Waiting for an update on this very sad situation.

This sounds like a pretty bad situation, I can tell you that my husband is NOT a dog person and he isn't always the best with my sweet little dog. I have seen him on more than one occasion push him with his foot, he thinks nothing of yelling or talking badly to/about Willy. With that said, Willy has never cowered or tried to bite the way your sweet little dog is. Willy just ignores my husband, there are days my husband cannot believe that when i get home he comes running to me, I tell Willy give me hugs & kisses & he gets up on his hind legs for his hugs & kisses. When my husband gets home, Willy just lifts his head & looks at him like "oh, it's you" and put his head back down and continues with his nap. My husband cannot even get Willy to come off the couch to go out for pottying when he comes home, Willy would rather hold it for me to take him out. And that makes for a really long day for Willy not to potty(like almost 12 hours)when he could be going out after 7 hrs. Willy is also one of the big boys as he is over 15 lbs.
Good for you in getting the nanny cam, at least this way you can see how he is treating your baby. Keep us updated...

I just now read all of this and wanted to say some thing about My Little Yorkie Minnie. My Yorkies don't meet many strangers and my brother had come up to visit us and Hes never really been a dog person hes married and now Has a Yorkie of his own and says he never knew how to love a dog and now with his Yorkie he has learned and loves him dearly. Well him and his wife and yorkie came to visit us and both my Yorkies shyed away from him . Mickey hid and peeked around the corner at him and yet would go right up to his wife. My Minnie did go to him and then peed every where. She was so scared. later that day he walked up to her and she dropped and rolled over she was very scared and I have never seen her act this way before. My brother even baby talked to her and held his hand out for her to smell and neither of my dogs liked him. I think they could both sense he was not a dog person. He is a preacher and I know he would never ever hurt my babies and I set with them all that day so I know he never not once was mean with them. The only other times I have seen My Minnie drop and rollover on her back is when she was real sick and we was babying her and well My Hubby came home from work and she went and layed in the open doorway so he could see her like that . It was funny and she wasn't scared of him she was just sick and milking it and wanted my Hubby to baby her . and that's just what he did, he said whats this and I laughed and he said ahhh is my little girl still sick and he picked her up and held her and babied her. that's all she wanted.
sorry I got off the topic. It sounds to me like your dog is scared of this man if he had touched her I don't know and would hate to think that he did. But that's some thing you may never know . I would not over look it she is scared for a reason It may just be his size and the newness of him and that she can sense he doesn't like her. as for the red eyes I don't know I have heard of dogs getting blood shot eyes from a strike to the head. But I don't want to say that's what he did cause I don't know . The only other reason I can think of is if he smoked and it irritated her eyes or if he had gotten her high........... witch I don't know about that either. I wouldn't accuse him of any thing . But I would defiantly keep my eyes open and maybe the cam is the way to go. Good luck and watch over that baby of yours.

[YorkieShadow]

I just looked this up
When both eyes are bloodshot, however, you can be pretty sure that something is happening elsewhere in the body. Pets with allergies, for example, will sometimes get watery red eyes. High blood pressure or conjunctivitis (caused by a virus or bacteria) may be the blame. Other serious problems such as glaucoma or tumors can cause bloodshot eyes.

I'd give it a couple of days to see if it clears up, but since bloodshot eyes can be a symptom of some potentially serious conditions, I would suggest that you make an appointment with your vet, to see what is the cause of your dog's problem

UPDATE***
My boyfriend and I are no longer a couple. I still have no idea if he did anything to my baby or not. We did however have a discussion about it, that he seemed very hurt that I would even be questioning how he treats her when Im not around. Needless to say the last couple of days havent been the best in our relationship, which Im sure has a lot to do with my suspicions. I did take her to the vet again, he said since her eyes were only blood shot when she was left alone with my boyfriend, and cleared up the next day, after he examined her, his conclusion was anxiety, stress, or allergies to something he could possible be wearing, since he doesnt smoke cigarettes or pot. My heart is broken but every time I look over at my baby, I feel a sigh of relief knowing that I no longer have to worry about her, and she no longer has to feel scared. She's laying right here next to me. Now will someone tell me why I cant find a man that sweet??!! But then again I cant imagine loving a man as much as I love her and my daughter. Thanks again to everyone for their posts.

[red98vett]

Mona....maybe time apart will give your yorkie a chance to get back to her old self....and you should be able to tell by her behavior if it was him or not. I'm sorry for you that you had to go thru this - but sometimes people really can take out their frustrations on animals and you don't want to be involved with anyone you think could do that.....

[ilovelouie]

Thanks for the update hunny, and I agree with Villette. I think you did the right thing, and there are plenty of sweet men out there. Keep the faith and know that my thoughts are with you. I cant wait to hear more updates on your baby, and her behavior now that HE is gone.

[rrosenberry]

Mona, you did the right thing, if you had to question something like that, you are better off, You'll find someone who cares about you and your baby, I'm sure, You made the right choice, as hard as it was. Good for you! I'm proud of ya.
We are all here for you,, through the good and bad, remember that.

[vainchick5]

I'm so sorry that you have to deal with this Mona. You are a wonderful mom to your babies (daughter and furbaby), for protecting them and not putting in danger. It's hard, I know but you made the right choice for your family. I am always weary when I have doubts about someone, because chances are that is a gut feeling. I know it's extreme, but I look at murder cases and such, and realize that these people lead seemingly normal lives and were considered "nice" people. Yet there was always someone in the family who had their doubts but never spoke up, like with Scott Peterson. I know it's an extreme way of looking at it, but I guess I'm trying to say you did good for you and yours family. You deserve someone who will not make you think twice about his genuineness and love for you and your WHOLE family. Hugs to you
