I am so sad right now. I have been ill, and in the hospital over a month. My family was taking care of my yorkie and young shih tzu for me while away for this long of a time. My dogs were kept at our home. They were not taken away from their enviroment.
I have come home to my yorkie turning aggressive towards the younger, smaller shih tzu . Fighting , and attacking the tzu .
I had no choice but to keep them separate from each other. Both are unspayed females . This is the problem ? will they be better after spayed? Just that the two become sexually mature while I was gone, and now it is a dominance thing ? The vet told me this could happen? normal behavior ? for 2females? since my yorkie is bigger the the tzu , I am scared she is going to really hurt the smaller pup . WIth the the tzu's sensitve eyes , It is frightning , the way my yorkie becomes so aggressive .
Does anybody have experience with this?
