RE: [pyrnet] Pyr aggression

I run a nursing home and the moment any of our residents display unusual
behaviors we check to see if they have a urinary tract infection and/or
are dehydrated.  Maybe one of these is the answer.

If Stanley only started showing this aggression recently I'd have him
checked by a vet.  It is well possible that he is in pain due to some
underlying illness, which causes him to act aggessively.  Once a health
check is ruled out, other measures can be applied.  It would then be
best to contact a behaviourist before this aggression gets out of hand.
If strict discipline is applied, it may well be that you are treating
aggression with aggression and it may aggravate the problem.  There are
other, more gentle, methods that can be done to work on this problem.

Good luck.
