Some days it was bad, most days it was just chronic. She was on Metacam for 8 years but dosed intelligently only giving the max dose on bad days. I also gave Glucosamine and Chondoroitin. She was able to go a mile or so without problems until the last year of her life. Remember dogs are stoic, so try to end the walk before the limp shows up and thereby avoid too much abrasive damage.<br><b>References : </b><br> My last dog had something like that, in her case they found a small healed crack in her actual shoulder joint.

Since he is 3 years old and has this aggressive attitude I would contact a behaviorist for help. You MUST do it ASAP because this behavior will only get worse if not corrected now. While you are waiting for the behaviorist visits, you can start by nothing in life is free. Good luck.<br><b>References : </b><br>Nothing in life is free http://k9deb.com/nilif.htm Find a behaviorist in your area http://iaabc.org/ You have every right to be worried, this could be a disaster waiting to happen, and he could be put down because of it.

Have you done any obedience training with him? That's a good start because it establishes who is in charge. Since this is a dog with a bite history, work with the trainer instead of trying to change his behavior yourself. Dogs who have been in charge for years can get nasty when the owner becomes the boss.<br><b>References : </b><br> How do you correct the bad behavior? Have you done any obedience training with him?

They will teach you how to fix that problem. Or you could just put him in a cage when you have other people around. So that he has no further chances of face biting.<br><b>References : </b><br> Take him to a dog trainer. They will teach you how to fix that problem.

Pomeranians vary in type, some revert more towards the Spitz type (German Spitz) and backyard breeders tend to breed larger Pomeranians, larger bitches produce larger litters, more money in their pocket. One of my Pomeranians is 16 pounds. She is not the largest Pomeranian I know by any means. We will have a Pomeranian gathering this weekend witha bout 100+ Pomeranians. More of them will be of the Spitz type then the show type. Here is a description from Second Chance Pomeranian rescue regarding size- SIZE: The correct weight for a Pomeranian is 3-7 pounds. The Poms we see in Rescue are generally larger (8-12 pounds) and sometimes much larger; I have seen them up to 18 pounds, and have heard of 25-pounders. This is because Poms were bred down in size during the Victorian period and frequently, with poor breeding, will revert. Puppy millers prefer the larger females, since they produce bigger litters.<br><b>References : </b><br> It is not unusual for Pomeranians to weigh into the teens.
