Shiba Acting Strange
My shiba, Kiyomi, started acting strange around my mother-in-law yesterday. She's seen her many times in the past and has never done this before.
She keeps staring and whining at her, anytime she moves she starts biting her pants and shoes, if my mother-in-law is standing she'll be jumping up on her trying to nip her hands. The whole time she's whining. If we pull Kiyomi away from her, she'll start screaming/crying.... Any ideas on why she would do this?

In all the stories I've read about, the dogs seem to be able to smell the cancer. Maybe that could freak her out? One story that was published recently told of a woman who had a dog, that suddenly started poking its snout into her armpit. She thought the behavior was weird and since it kept appearing she went to the doctor, and she turned out to have early stages of cancer. That dog saved her life.
If she is just missing some vitamins or something it could also make her smelle different, and Kiyomi could be reacting to that.
It's amazing so many things dogs can detect. We humans don't see anything...
