 Zoey is becoming vicious!!
Hello everyone, about 4 or 5 months ago I adopted a 3.5yr old yorkie. She was a bit neglected and attention starved. We welcomed her into our home and everything was fine. She had some bladder problems but she has been treated for them. We also have 2 chihuahuas, 1 male and 1 female. When Zoey first arrived she got along with the others just fine. Bambi my female Chi was a little aggressive at first but that stopped in a few weeks. So about a month+ ago Zoey went into heat. Since going into heat she has become vicious to my female Chi Bambi. We brought her to the vet and got her spayed 2 weeks ago hoping that this would fix her problem. (both of my Chihuahuas are fixed) But nothing has changed. I don't know what to do. We have to feed them in separate rooms, always try to keep them seperate. Zoey just tried to attack Bambi while Bambi was sitting on my lap and Zoey was on the floor. I have gotten bit bad and so has my boyfriend. I am very attached to Zoey and I don't want her to have to find another new home. I just don't know what to do.
I have been watching the Dog Whisperer and I am going to try taking her on long walks each day and see if that helps her aggression.
She also seems to have anxiety, she constantly runs in circles when on the floor and pants excessively when she sees Bambi usually before the attack.
If anyone has any suggestions, I would love to hear from them. I just love these dogs and I don't want them to hurt each other anymore.
Thanks
