My dog's behavior changed after puppies. Why is she eating everything?

I would recommend taking your dog to the vet for an exam, as there are definitely some medical conditions that can cause a dramatic increase in appetite like this. Some possibilities would include Cushing's disease, diabetes, a thyroid tumor, or a problem with absorbing nutrients from the GI tract. Your veterinarian can do blood work or other testing if needed to help determine what may be causing this.

That could be actually not a behavioural problem but due to a metabolic/endocrine disease especially if the weight is constant or decreased. I would recommend a check up at your local vets to determine and eventually rule out any possible disease.

Since it sounds like this is a new behavior for Nala, I would be suspicious that she may have an underlying medical problem causing her to be hungrier than normal. This can be caused by a variety of different things including Cushing's disease, diabetes, or even a thyroid tumor. I would recommend taking her to the vet for a full check-up and some basic lab work to help check for these problems. If nothing is found on her medical work-up, you may need to consult with a behaviorist to determine if she has developed an anxiety problem or some other issue - this can occur later in life in some cases, and may require a bit of "detective work" by a skilled professional to determine the cause.

Have Spring examined by your veterinarian. Sudden behavioral changes can be indicative of illness or injury. Abdominal x-rays may show bone or skull fragments (or not). This may convince your neighbor of your dog's innocence. You likely won't be able to change your neighbor's mind otherwise.

Any sudden change in behavior from the normal can be a sign of a medical illness, and I would have Luna seen by a vet today. Eating feces can be a sign of intestinal parasites in dogs, and if she had a heavy burden of them, that would cause her to feel very unwell. A health check by the vet can diagnose if there is a medical cause behind her behavior, and can treat her for it.

I am so sorry to hear of these concerns for Nypsy. Changes in behavior such as increased anxiety and inappropriate eating can be an indication of a neurological issue. This could be a condition known as canine cognitive dysfunction (doggy dementia), lesions in the brain can also affect behavior and are more commonly suspected if there is increased aggression or the onset of seizures. The change in appetite could be due to a metabolic issue such as kidney disease, which can cause a pet to feel nauseous. These types of conditions would require bloodwork with your veterinarian to diagnose. Dental disease is also very common in older, small breed dogs. It can contribute to changes in food intake due to oral pain. I would recommend tempting Nypsy with some tasty treats such as boiled chicken or a little canned dog food. Also do not offer her any more sweet tea-sugar is not good for our pets and if Nypsy is suffering from some sort of metabolic issue it could make things worse. When you are able I would recommend taking Nypsy to your regular Vet for a thorough physical exam and possibly some bloodwork to rule out anything significant.

Poor Ariel! A sudden change in behavior could be due to a medical illness; for example, if she is having accidents all over the house, that could be due to a UTI or bladder stones. I would take her into the vet in the morning. The vet can do a physical exam, routine blood tests, and a urinalysis to see if there is a medical cause behind her sudden change in behavior. If a cause is found, the vet can prescribe an appropriate treatment for it.
