So I get this phone call last night from my Dad to tell me
my Mom has been bitten by one of our dogs. Naturally, I got worried and scared
that it might be something serious but all that heart felt and sincere concern I
went ice cold when I heard why. My parents have this beautiful big old boy
Alsatian that is getting on in life now. His decline is youthful exuberance has
sparked a resurgence in the cheekiness of their Jack Russell cross. So, as
nature intended, the two dogs had a fight for King of the Castle. My mother,
without considering the situation, prods her hand in between them to separate
the fight. Now while I still feel genuine concern for bite wounds I also feel
like saying “Well, I told you so!”. Never, ever, try break up a fight with your
hands. In the heat of the moment your quiet little munchkin is not thinking
about what it bites – it just bites everything. While neutering your animals
does have a large effect of their natural instinct to dominate this may not
solve it entirely. We also understand that simply standing back and watching
the gruesome show is not an option so what can you do? I found this article on
line that has some very good pointers:
