I feel so bad and confused.
I live in Utah and there is a huge fire about 10 miles from my home. The winds shifted and we were being evacuated 1 by one. I wanted to get a jump on getting ready as they were only giving people minute to get out.
I took all of my dogs out so I didnt have to round them up in the house. ( my daighter has a dog, I have 3 yorkies and my son has a dog) I got their kennels ready and put them in a little holding type run near the door of my home and proceeded to get my 4 kids stuff together. I looked out ( these dogs are around each other constantly) and the shih tzu was barking alot. I noticed I couldnt see 3 lb ritz .I called to him and my female yorkie was barking at something behind the little doghouse that is in there, when I called ritz ran out as he did she grabbed him by the head ( she is around 7 lbs) and shoook him violently. I screamed at her and grabbed her by the scruff. ritz ran to me and was all wet from the ewater int here and covered in mud and shaking. I seperated her and the rest of the dog and looked at ritz more. He had cuts on his muzzle bruising around his ears cuts on his back end and could not walk . I thought he was paralyzed.. I had a hell of a time finding a vet as the whole area was being evacuated.finally got him there. They x-rayed and found he was really bruised up. Ritz did not walk until Sunday night and is still very sore.
I am sure Leah was just stressed due to the fire etc but why did she attack ritz. He is the most mellow one out there and they have never so much as even quarreled. Ritz has never been hurt at all aside from his brushings that he SWEARS he is dying from.( or so you would think due to his complaints) Now I am afraid to let leah around any of my other dogs again and have kept her seperated since being allowed back home SUn night.Ritz is walking and eating but cannot lif his leg to pee yet and takes teeny tiny little steps.
