Over the course of the last two months Hank has started becoming somewhat aggressive. He has been on prednisone for the last 6.5 months so I think this may have something to with it from what I have read about long term pred use. Hank is 1 year old and a month and is also neutered. Over the last two months he has becoming aggresive towards other dogs. It seems to only be towards dogs that are either the same size or larger. Every time we go to the dog park he seek out a dog (different one every time) and run up on them and then attack them, and these dogs aren't doing anything and are nowhere near him. Like I said he has only started doing this in the last two months, and we can't take him to the dog park anymore because this happens every time. Also he will attack the younger newf we have at home (female 6 months) over bones. If they both get a bone and he gets done with his first he will attack her for the bone. And when I say aggressive I mean he will attack vioently and draw blood. It only at these times that he behaves like this though. He never used to do any of this until about two months ago. Does anyone have any opinions on this. I asked my vet and he believes it to prednisone related.
