PLEASE HELP QUICK! I have 3 seven year old yorkies, 2 recently neutered males and a very small female. One of the males sired a female (5 years old) who has had two litters, two females 2 years old and one male and one female, 7 months old. They have lived happily for several years, eat together, sleep together and bark and play together. Mom and her four kids tend to stick together and the other three are independent. For the past month or more the 5 year old mom has started biting her 7 year old small (half her size) aunt. I have left them all together inside the house and as soon as they hear the door open they start barking and the 5 year old is found on top of the small one who is on her back and biting her! I have been leaving them separately, but today I let them out together like I always do but when I went to the back I guess two or three were biting the little one and made real nasty cuts on all her little legs and drew some blood!!! What is happening? Please help me! Is this jealousy? Why all of a sudden? I hug them all and kiss them and mom and her four sleep with me. The little one sleeps with my mom and is always on the sofa with her. Suggestions? What do I do? PLEASE PLEASE HELP!
