My dog, Yurie, is being aggressive towards male house guests. He has been fine with my husband and me but starts barking and growling every time he sees other men in the house. We just noticed this behavior because we have friends staying with us, and we just got him a month ago from a rescue. He is 1 year old. We have tried keeping him on a leash, making him sit, and putting our hand over his snout while saying 'quiet,' but it hasn’t helped much. He is also snapping at the guests. What can we do to address this behavior?

My German Shorthair Pointer drank Lysol toilet bowl cleaner from the toilet bowl. The dog weighs about 58 lb and is 7 years old named Drummond. He has not vomited since the incident, which happened about 20-30 minutes ago. I gave him a slice of bread and he drank some water afterward. He acts fairly normal otherwise. What should I do?

Hi Pearl, I came home and suspect our dog chewed on Vitamin D. About 10-20 pills of 5000 units/1200 calcium. I found brown liquid vomit on the floor after. I also think they ate a hard boiled egg as I found some eggshells on the floor but not much else. The dog is 16 lbs. How long has it been since the dog chewed the pills? What's the dog's name and age? Is there anything else the Vet should know before I connect you? Rest assured that they'll be able to help you.
