I really am at my wits end. We took Tori on as a foster kitten when she was just 2.5 days and her weight was very low. Her mother's milk dried up so I took here as my son had to work. Unfortunately she did not have litter mates or a mother to teach bite inhibition etc.
I had to feed her by syringe to begin with then onto a bottle and was fed around the clock every 3 hours. It was fairly cold so we also put in large sock with rice in it to keep her body temp as it should be. We had Tori in a soft crate beside out bed covered at night to conserve the heat.
I was a vet nurse many years ago. I have also fostered many pups that I have bred.
Now the big question she used to love a cuddle but now will only allow a couple of strokes then she bites and we put her down.
First it was one of the Tibetan spaniels that she was always after jumping on her and now she is no longer able to relax always looking around incase Tori jumps on her. Now the male dog aged 7 she goes after him. They are very soft hearted dogs and do not retaliate they just leave the room.
We used to sit in the living room at night to watch some TV and the dogs had they beds to lay on and it was a relaxing evening. Not anymore. Last night I was so sad to see this happening I got the extra large crate out and my 2 small dogs were relieved to feel safe and went to sleep. Oh I do have an 11.5 year old Golden retriever that Tori leaves alone.
Tori has plenty of exercise during the day and lots of play and interactive toys etc. She was very interested in my measuring tape I was using so I tied it to the handle of the door and she enjoys that.
The vets will not desex her until she is 6 months. We love all of our pets but I really need some tips and advice please. I am very unwell myself and all the tension is not helping me either. Thank you for taking the time to listen. The photo is of when she was younger
