Why is my older dog scared of our new puppy after a shot?

Try to encourage Luna to eat and you may try separating them at meal time until Luna relaxes. Exercising them both may also help. if Luna continues to not eat for another 24 hours or shows any signs of illness, have her examined by the veterinarian.

It sounds as if Coco may be a bit stressed out by the new puppy. Giving her some time on her own to relax and settle in with the changes is best. You can try spending some more one on one time together by offering a favorite treat, playing with a favorite toy, or just petting and grooming her without your other dogs present. Making sure each dog has some personal time as well as places they can rest such as their own bed, room, etc as well as making sure there are extra food and water bowls can help reduce stress and prevent tension between all three dogs.

IT can be common that when a new puppy enters the house the older dog might have a change in behavior. Most of the time this is corrected with just time. Molly will get use to the puppy being a around and will start to become more social again. I recommend making sure Molly does have an area she can go with out the puppy to relax and paying her some one on one time to make sure she is getting attention. hope that helps

It is possible that Coco just doesn't like the new puppy, but there could be other causes for her distancing herself from the rest of the family, including pain from arthritis, cognitive dysfunction, and internal medical illness, among others. I would recommend that Coco have a good checkup with a vet to rule out the easier possibilities. If there are no obvious causes found on examination and lab work, then the vet may recommend treating anxiety or supplements for cognitive dysfunction.

Puppies can sometimes be A LOT for senior dogs and it can take some time for them to get use to one another. If there were any food, treats, toys or special people near by Buddy could have just been acting protective over these. Also, with Buddy being older, if they puppy is always playing, jumping on him, or nipping at him, he may have been just trying to tell the puppy to leave him alone or trying to set some boundaries. Also, if he is arthritic and he knows the puppy jumping on him hurts, he could have reacted to prevent this. I would continue to keep them separate until you know they can be left alone together. I would definitely feed them separately as well. I would be sure you are still spending plenty of alone time with Buddy as he may be feeling frustrated that his home life has changed with the new addition. I would continue to have short but frequent times of them being together. You could also start Buddy on an anti-anxiety chew like composure or composure pro and get him a calming collar like sentry or adaptil. If these don't help, talk to your vet about anti-anxiety medicine like fluoxetine or trazadone. I hope this helps!

Congrats on adding the new puppy to your household. These things can take time and patience but most pets will come around. Here is a helpful link: https://www.petcoach.co/article/5-tips-to-introduce-a-puppy-or-dog-to-your-older-dog/ Other things that will help including walking the dogs together, giving the older dog some alone time and keeping the puppy from getting too rough with the older dog. Also praise the older dog when she approaches the puppy or exhibits positive interest in the puppy. Please feel free to post any additional questions.

This will take time of gradual introduction with the puppy. You can try and keep them separated for 2-3 weeks and gradually increase the time that they are around each other. Take them on walks together to help get them used to each other. I would also introduce the puppy's bedding or any other items that have the puppy's smell on them with your labrador to get him used to the smell. You can also try using an Adaptil collar on him, which can be found online quite easily, and see if this helps. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
