Sounds like you had a Yorkie frenzy. I've had it happen too, and it's always the girls. I have two in particular that seem to compete for which one is the alpha female. They get along great most of the time, but once in a while all hell breaks loose. Then, like you said, the others join in. When mine get like that, it can be tense between them for a week or so then it settles back down. I think it's a hormonal thing but not directly in sync with their heat cycle. Everyone's situation is different, but I just keep an eagle eye on mine at those times. I'm usually home but wouldn't leave them together if I was gone. They really can kill each other. If you know which ones are the instigators, maybe you should keep them separated when you're gone. Sorry I can't give you any real advice but I do sympathize with you. We think of them as our babies but sometimes the 'dog' comes out in them. |
