Why is my dog suddenly aggressive towards other pets and not eating?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Alsatian | Female | 3 years and 11 months old | 44 lbs

I have an alsatian and a rottweiler(both are females) that I use for security reasons. For the past three days the alsatian has been behaving strangely. She has been trying to kill other animals that I'm rearing in my compound. On a normal day it wouldn't harm these animals because they usually move around freely. It does not only try to kill the animals am rearing but it also attack the other dog(rottweiler) I keep for security reasons too? Another thing is that she has refused to eat food.

If Hera is refusing food and also suddenly aggressive I would be concerned she is in pain or ill. It would be best to bring her to a vet for a complete exam to try and find a cause such as GI upset, foreign body, illness, etc that could be causing her symptoms.
