The emotional state of stress and anxiety wasn't there until this last bite. The person and the circumstances surrounding that bite brought on the stress and anxiety because at that point, I realized how dangerous and unpredictable the situation was. Until that bite, I thought we had the triggers figured out and could manage the situation and continue working with him. From the time I brought him home in May, he was very fond of my mom and comfortable around her. Has seen her pretty much every day since then. He approached her for his routine greeting with her in a calm and friendly manner. And then just lost it. So yes, the last 9 days have been stressful and bucket loads of anxiety but for the 6 months prior, it wasn't that way at all.
I'm glad you were able to maintain your situation but I can't see a way to give him any kind of life and still keep this household safe from the damage he can inflict. Thanks for the offer of hope but after thinking through all the options and talking with a behaviorist and multiple vet appointments over the last week.........
