Things have gotten much worse...
Pixie will not leave Pip alone and goes after him, pins him down and mouths him and then nips his ear or leg. When I separate them and put one in a different room but Pixie is obsessed with him and trying to get in the room. I've tried hot dogs and turkey meat right under her nose to get her focus back to me but she ignores it. By putting them in different rooms or one in a kennel or Pixie on a leash it seems to be making the situation worse. It's so stressful. I can no longer let them be in the same room for fear that Pixie will nip Pip again. I hate this.
Vet has Pixie on Reconcile which is for separation anxiety but it takes 2 weeks to get to an effective level. I can't wait 2 weeks and have put Pixie up for adoption. Gotten a lot of initial responses but after they see her picture and see that she's not a tiny "toy" then they don't call back.
Any suggestions? |
