Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This could be him reacting to the new pup. This is not uncommon and it is usually transient. However, this could of course be due to a medical condition so if this does not improve or resolve in the next week, have Tucker evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Good luck and have a good night!
