The only reson we would have to put Chewy down is because he would become dangerouse and would bite people or attack them. If you saw him attack someone or Teddy you would be scared to. You have to see it to understand. It is so horrible. I can't even begin to explain to you how horrible it is.

I would have Chewey seen by a behaviorist before making that kind of decision.

I didn't know thyroid problems caused aggression. Maybe he's got another issue on top of the thyroid? Whatever the case, I think a beviorist can help immensely.

Good luck and my prayers are with you.

We have been seeing a behaviorst for almost 4 months. I called her AS SOON as he developed this problem.
