Hi,

things got worse last night. Out of the blue he can't walk on his rear
feet. First the rear left foot is pointing 90 degrees inwards to the
body, the next hour is his rear right foot. Took him back to the vet
who got me an appointment with a specialist today. The breeder
suggested it might be a pinched nerve. Looking forward to finding out
what is going on.

Yikes!

I'm so glad you're going to see someone else
for this. I hope you find out that its
something easily fixed.

No, It got cancelled when Tuck's face was ripped up and stitched

I can't put on a show with him in stitches

Holy crap!

What happened?

Well,

he has been poked and prodded by numerous veterinarian specialists and
chiropractors and they think it is neurological. He can barely walk,
crawls all the time and has not eaten for a few days. While lying
around he is no longer yelping in pain just hanging around. But if you
touch him he yelps in pain.

ESS puppy decided to take out Tuck's face. Seriously. He hit with such
suddeness and intensity, the vets were claiming springer rage.

I thought he was too young for that.

But Regardless... no dog in my house is going to act that way. So I had a
little Come to Jesus meeting with him, and put the proper fear of god into
him, and Tuck can walk by his bowl all he wants, and i can take anything
from him that I want to.

Whatever was starting with him, finished right then..

He thought he was going to die.

I thought he was too.

Taking out faces is a ZERO TOLERANCE proposition.

Yikes!

Poor Tuck has been taking a lot of flack from
other dogs lately.

I'm sorry to hear about your dog. No, the ESS is not too young for
this. And if he is genetically extremely assertive, and it's not just
an owner or leadership problem, which can rather easily be corrected,
you will be tested again and again. I don't know what the
circumstances were here, but it sounds like you may have a real
problem on your hands. You might want to consult with an experienced
behaviorist, especially if small children could ever be involved. I
don't think you will ever be able to trust him with small children, or
possibly even with strangers, again. I would check with your breeder,
and if there were any signs of this behavior with his siblings or
close relatives (two generations), you may want to consider having him
put down.

http://www.essfta.org/health_research/aggression.htm
“Rage Syndrome” is an old term, essentially a misnomer that should be
dropped from the behavior vocabulary. Rage implies a violent,
emotional reaction. While this may apply to sudden outbursts of
violence in people, it really doesn’t help us determine why a similar
incident occurred in dogs. The records of many dogs previously
diagnosed with “Springer Rage Syndrome” were reviewed, and various
forms of aggression were actually displayed. As part of my own
behavior practice, I frequently evaluate dogs with so-called “Rage
Syndrome”. So far, all of these dogs have been diagnosed with another
form of aggression, including dominance aggression, fear-related
aggression, resource guarding, and territorial behaviors. Dominance
aggression was the most common diagnosis, when current diagnostic
criteria were applied.

Tuck has an erect head posture. His ruff on his neck looks as if his
hackles are up.
He has erect ears. He's dark,
He has a tail that sticks up erectly over his back.. and is stationary, not
wagging (thinking it may be erect, stiff.. but it's not, it's just his
natural tail carriage)
His conformation is body shortened, very erect, up on his toes stance.

He never averts his gaze, but he assesses the other dog. But his direct
stare is assessing, NOT aggressive.

But the whole makeup of what he is NATURALLY in conformation sends all the
WRONG messages to other dogs.

A lot of dogs love to attack him, they pick him out from a long distance.
Yet he's the most reliably pacifistic dog I've ever known. But his
conformation makes him a magnet for dog attacks.

My sisters dog came over the other day and she passed out bones to
everyone. Tuck had his all of 30 seconds before it was taken from him. No
one respects him, because he's such a big pushover.
