r/tollers

Hi all ! My dog is a 3,5 years old intact toller. For the past two years, we’ve seen our pup go from “well balanced and feeling good in his paws, with mild episode of food-related ressource guarding” change into “reactive dog who has attacked dogs & humans, including us, superstressed and ressource guarding everything”.

We learned that he has hypothyroidism, which is he being treated for and helps, but there’s still a lot a fear-based & testosterone-based reactivity.

While we have frequent vet visits, including with a comportementalist vet, I was wondering if any of you had experience with hypothyroidism and other conditions ? I am almost sure he has hypersensitivity & hyperactivity syndrome + we’re still wondering if a possible Addison disease is there (we may test it, but he needs to be sedated for blood samples soooo it’s complicated).

Thanks for your insights !
