Hi everyone, could do with some advice.
Charlie and Lavender have been living together and all loved up for a good few months now, with no aggression or issues between them at all. Both neutered etc etc.
I left them on their own in the lounge last night , I heard scuffling so ran to the lounge to see what was happening. They were chasing each other and there were ball of fur all over the lounge. There was more of Charlies fur than Lavenders, so I assumed she was the agressor. I separated them, checked them over - Charlie was bleeding a bit on his back, so I cleaned it and put sudacrem on it (is that the right thing to do?).
Then put them back together and kept an eye on them, few snaps but nothing serious. So I put them in their cage, slept with the doors open so I could hear them, and checked on them in the night. They seemed fine.
Got home from work and let them out, and he's snapping at her. I think its him not her, and there was just more of his fur around cos he's moulting.
I don't understand why they are doing it, its although they are re-establishing dominance. We moved the lounge a bit of Saturday and their crate is at a different angle but in the same place, but we treated the room for mites (with Crusade) - so thats the only thing I can think of thats is different - we made is smell different.
Anyone know what is going on? I'm worried about Charlie - he's already low cos he had his VHD a couple of weeks ago, got a bit stressed (he's 6) and has had a mite outbreak.
Any ideas?
