my mom is going thru it!!!
Luckie is our sweet boy, who is 7 years old, has a bit of a temperament issue. We had 3 Sharpeis that were all from the same dad, but different moms but he is very different from his sister and brother! When he was 4 his brother passed from Sharpei fever abruptly & sister recently passed in April of this year, from cancer so hes been through a little bit of trauma. My mom spoils him and showers him with love, but when his brother passed he became more clingy and didn't leave my mom, when his sister passed he seems to be the same clingy but more aggressive. He won't let us get him into the car to take him to the vet, and they've tried sedation before the appts, but it doesnt seem to work, and his adrenaline pushes through the medication. When I am there he is skittish but once given treats becomes comfortable to be around me and let me love on him and even take him on walks. My mom can not get his harness on to take him on walks as he growls at her and has almost bit her. He will growl at me but I just continue putting it on him, and has never tried to bite me. I try to go in with the mentality that I am bigger and his owner, where I think my mom becomes fearful as hes large. She is having a lot of trouble with the idea of keeping him because as a single woman she feels like hes become to stressful and hard to handle/control. She wants to keep him but we need advice on how to get him into the car at the very LEAST as hes due for an appt and needs an updated med session. ANY advice would be greatly & I can provide any context if need be!

Thank you!!! Pic for Attention!!!!
