Very Itchy West Highland White Terrier?
Filed under Care & Training Q&As
Please can someone tell me how to relieve my westie pup from itchiness?? he has had antibiotics from the vet which cleared up the soreness beautifully but now he is left with what looks like small patches of eczema and little dried spots which he still keeps scratching at, his fur has also gone red, he will be getting his first clip tomorrow and the antibacterial shampoo he had did no good anyway! any suggestions
My Westie Attacks Viciously And Gets Very Possesive, Can This Be Trained Out Of Him?
Filed under Care & Training Q&As
I’ve had my westie for just over a year now and some extremely bad and aggresive behaviour is just starting to take place. When he was a puppy he had a few minor issues that could be trained out of him such as excessive barking, and running out of the house. He used to bite a lot but nothing major as he was only little and most of the time he was just playing.
A couple of months ago he was trying to get food out from the bin and my sister attempted to stop him by pushing him down and telling him “bad” (which he usually responds to), a few moments later he suddenly turned on her and bit her foot viciously, holding on to it. A lot of blood was drawn, but fortunately she didn’t need stitches. This was a major shock to the rest of the family as it was completely unexpected. Therefore we decided we would get him castrated to try and limit his aggressive and tempremental behaviour.
Its been 5 weeks sinse the operation and he seemed to slowly be getting better, so yesterday when he aggresively bit my mum on both arms after she attempted to stop him from shredding a tissue, we were all horrified. The wound was very servere and she has a swollen arm, and took an emergancy trip to A&E, but fortunately didn’t need stitches.
We all love our dog to bits and really don’t want to have him put down, but at the moment there seems to be no other options. The worst part is that he has forgotten what he has done and is back to his normal self. But obviously this cant be ignored or it may happen again. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks.

I really want a pup and my mother said I could have one (I’m 13) and I live at Los Gatos. Do you know where I could buy a white terrier for a cheap price near my home?
