Thank you for submitting your question regarding Mazie. Is there any chance of an intoxication? A dramatic behavior change in a puppy is commonly the result of eating something she shouldn't have. For example, marijuana exposure or human medications are becoming increasingly common in dogs. If this is not the case, she could be itchy. Does she have a rash on her belly or elsewhere? Ultimately, she will need to see a veterinarian for an examination if her behavior continues. I hope this information helps!
