Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Hello there My dog recently just had a visit from to petsmart and now he is acting up. They gave him a shot to make him clam down but my dog is now... i dont know. He is hiding, He wont let anyone touch him, he is biting himself now to the point where he is bleeding. I believe it is anxiety and that they did something tramatic to him.. May i please have your intake please.

Hello, I would recommend having your vet check your dog, it could certainly be behavioral but it could also be something medical going on by your description, such as an infection or a rash. Your vet will start with a good physical exam and be able to get some answers for you.
