As you know, Possum lost her battle.  It wasn't the full-blown CCD, fho from blunt force trauma, IBD, inflamed PPMs, or mangled teeth.  It was her off the charts aggression.  She was in monthly veterinary care and the last advice I received was a pet psychic. And I paid over $100 for that advice.  Possum was on chlomipramine whichhelped CCD for a brief while. She tried the Rx's for aggression, and we settled onB12 and L-tryptophan.  That too worked to a 90% reduction level.  Then she totally disconnected in August, and was PTS in November.  She would lay lost in her world, growling, snarling, ears back and teeth bared. For no reason.  She had found a comfort level here after her initial fear-based aggression.  She was loved, protected, and sheltered.  No one ever picked on her, but she brutually attacked Gabriel every time he wandered too close.  She was then permanently separated from him, but that did not reduce her aggression. She turned on Chris and tore in to me. Fortunately, she was small enough and her teeth mangled enough that she didni't break the skin, but she did on Gabriel. She would draw blood.  Aggressoin is a killer.  We have solicited as much information as we can get and are consolidating at www.s8.createphpbb.com/lethalwhiteauss/ in Possum's memory. 
So many dogs die every day because of aggression.  This is the most important subject, imho, that we need to get out there.  Any dog who turns on humans has pretty much signed his warrant.  Canine on canine might be able to be treated, but once a dog attacks a human, that dog is untrustworthy, cannot be adopted out, may find shelter in a quarantined sanctuary, or as an only dog who never leaves th house and has a high fenced yard.  How do we find an answer?  How do we cure this killer?  Aggression kills more dogs than cancer, seizure paralysis combined.  It is epidemic and it can be totally preventable by a responsible upbringing.

"I am involved in dog rescue: my wallet & gas tank are always running on empty, my house is never quiet, free of dog hair, nor is my car; my inbox is full of ongoing despair & misery, but my heart & soul are replenished with unconditional love, loyalty, & joy that can only come from a rescued dog!".....Author Unknown
