In any event, hopefully you have sorted out the problem by now. There could be any number of reasons why your 5 year old dog is not too keen on your new puppy, and one of those reasons could be that she simply doesn't have much patience for a young and active puppy, particularly if she is still grieving for your other two dogs. Hopefully she has, or will, come around, and will get on well with the new puppy. Regards, Brigitte Hi Patti,

We spent a lot of money at the vet, administered the proper expensive meds, cleaned and cared for this ear day after day. Finally we changed vets and it was suggested that it could be his diet. Now, he was already on an expensive hypo allergenic dog food which cost as much per pound as the family protein did, but only as a supplement to the cooked meals we were providing him. We had been led to believe that he needed kibble to keep his teeth clean. THis new vet corrected us (that was like telling people they need to eat granola to keep their teeth clean instead of brushing). We immediately stopped ALL commerically prepared dog food and any packaged dog treats from his diet. This time the same meds worked and within 2 weeks NO MORE EAR INFECTIONS and he has been infection free for a full year. ALso his eyes brightened up and his coat stopped flaking. He was reacting to something in that very expensive commerically prepared dog food. He is now, by far, the most shiny, contoured, healthy lab I have ever seen in public. He also lost 8 lbs. and is now within the range of weight that we thought would have been impossible before. Also, on the day we cook up his chicken for the week, we enjoy a meal of it since it is so good! ANd honestly, I feel much better after that meal than on the evenings where we are rushing and order something out. If we ate like the dog eats now at every meal, we would certainly be healthier too! When people are told not to feed their dogs human food, they mean don't give them processed food or pizza from your table. We battled a low grade ear infection for a year in our lab.
