Behavioral changesQ: I am currently 8 mths pregnant with my first child and have seen a change in my dog's behavior which has gotten progressively worse as my pregnancy advances. my yorkie is 5 years old and normally has a very sweet and loving disposition. since i became pregnant in september he has started nipping and occasionally biting me (and only me) without warning. these occurrences have become more frequent in the last few months. his overall disposition is still the same, even with me most of the time. do you have any suggestions and could this behavior be related to the pregnancy?
