igs & dogs

luke420 Jul 10, 2003 02:50 PM

i just rescued a 6 yr old corgi. my 1 1/2 yr old ig is terrified of him, but the dog doesnt bark or chase him at all. Luke (the ig) isnt eating or going to the bathroom like he used to at all. I had no idea how much this would stress him out and im kinda gettin worried. any help would be greatly appreciated. THANKS!

I own 4 large dogs and a cat, it takes time but they do get used to each other. Is your ig a free roamer? Once Tempest learned they couldn't get into his cage, and couldn't get anywhere near the top of it, he started to relax a bit, but it also helped that the dogs were already here. As for the cat, I think she would lose... Tempest is not afraid of her at all! Still, if Tempest is out, the dogs are outside, even a small, curious/playful nip or paw from a dog could cause serious damage to an ig.
