It's hard to explain, because the signs were not obvious. They had never been aggressive dogs, but now showed minor signs of aggression when coming into contact with other dogs. Mainly, they didn't look for affection and were content to stay away from human contact.
I took them to several vets and they analysed mild depression caused by their time in quarantine.
I still haven't explained that properly – I got the impression that the dogs didn't trust me any more.

Whether it's down to the feeling of abandonment,being let down and consequential loss of trust, I don't know.
I wouldn't say that this is always the case, probably much depends on the dogs breed, temperament and usual lifestyle.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I'm just glad we never had to put our into kennels, because I've heard similar stories.
Our eldest dog would show signs of stress even when we left him with a good friend who the dog clearly loved.

I had the blood test done last week it cost £64.94 plus the £45 for the rabies injection we are now at £100. If the test shows he has not enough antibodies in his blood we start again!!! The vet tells me 1 in 20 have to be re vaccinated. I expect the result in 2 or 3 weeks.
