Today was rather tramatic! My 11 month old female Yorkie attacked my 11 year old female Yorkie. It happened so quick. No growling, no barking, no warning, just an attack. The puppy bit down on her ear and wouldn't let go. I had to use my fingers to pry her off of the older dog's ear. Blood was everywhere! I didn't know if the ear was torn so I rushed her to the Vet. Luckily, she didn't need stitches but was placed on pain meds and antibiotics.
My question is why? Why the unprovoked attack? It's never happened before, they typically get along very well. There was no food or toys that might have triggered this either. The puppy has been with the pack since she was 8 weeks old so she's not new to the house.
What should I be looking for in the future?
