very grumpy after spay

[amanda]

this is about candy my yorkie.
candy had pymotera in january and had
an emergancey operation.
well she is well over it and has made a complete
recovery. in the last week or so, she has become very
narky and grumpy, even getting more aggressive in her
play. bianca was spayed 2 weeks after is the same mellow
chi i always had. nothing has changed, i know we got stella
but she is submissive to candy, so the pecking order is not threatened in any way. i just cant find out as iv been watching the trigger and its nothing, iv even had to confine her, after a spat with bianca. binca did nothing to deserve this
i would appreciate if anyone has gone through the same or like, what did you do, i want to nip this before it gets to the stage of someone getting bitten.

Didn't candy attack via ca last year so point? It may just be the way she is if she is going for B then I would say that she is threatened by B?? Is candy alpha bitch?? Remember it takes a while for everything to totally calm down all I would suggest is assert your position and maybe Biancas I do not know if tht would make it worse but feed bianca first etc?

sarah this is the worst i have seen her, it in front of me never infront of noel. its like she has turned into a monster when she does this. then she is so lovey with oisin and noel. she plays ok with stella and mindy, if i hear a growl i correct, i have been trying when she goes demon on B but its like she saying f off the way she reacts to me. bianca was always top dog, i think, because we had harmony except with misty who she hated with a passion. i dont know....

[Sarah]

How old is she?? It could be that she wants to be top dog and she thinks she's higher in the pack than you are!! Because bianca was bred it means that bianca is higher than her! I think all you can do is make your status known you feed er but you make her do something for her go through the door before her etc etc

How old is she??

candy is 2 1/2 sarah, i put her in the living room to night at dinnertime, and then allowed her in when b was half way through, she did not want her own, she only wanted bs. bianca is 3 now. so itook hers away until b was finished, then gave it back, i am not in favour at the moment.

Tough shit she needs to learn!! You are the boss!!

I didn't realise they were that age I thought they were just like 18 months
