Dogs Fighting
Advice needed ASAP!!!!!!!!!
I have recently moved to a smaller place and was not able to take my dog(pitbull)with me so she is now staying with a relative. They also have a dog(pitbullX) which my dog has socialised with for most of her life and they have gotten along fine UNTIL today............ I went for a visit (which I do on A daily basis) and next thing I know they are FIGHTING!!!!! and i dont mean play fighting. There was alot of blood and alot of tears (from me)... and now I am wondering WHAT TO DO???? My relatives aren't happy IM NOT HAPPY and certainly I feel the dogs wouldn't be very happy.I am thinking of buying a muzzle????? but am just not sure.. Does any1 think now that she has had the 'taste for blood' that she will be a vicious dog??? She is usually a lovely dog (until 2day) and now I am having trust issues. My last option will be to put her down :( as I will not be moving for a while... Any advice would be helpful as atm they are tied up and THEY ARE NOT HAPPY. (Oh and the dogs arent SERIOUSLY injured in case you wondering just lots of little cuts and scratches which are being tended to)

Well, i think they fought is because they got a little terratorial. They were probbally fighting over a certain spot in the house. I would try to find another relitive that can take care or the dog and that doesn't have a dog. I wouldn't buy them a muzzle, cause then when you take it off, the dog may want to bite. I have never known of a dog that turned vicious after the taste of blood, so I would say that they will turn violent. I know they did not do it for fun, because when animals play fight, they don't normally draw blood. I would try to move your dog to another relitive that can take care of her. I wouldn't put her down, but only do it if the dog turns violent againest you. I hope this has helped.
P.S. - If you can't find another relitive to take care of your puppy, try to find an animal shelter or a friend of yours to take care of her.

We try the muzzle & keeping them separated them. What it could be (if any or both of them are on the old-ish side) like a “Denial of Age” or “Mid-life Crisis”. Where they try to deceive themselves they are not OLD. They do this by picking fights, running around more than usual, being ornery, and other unusual things. There is nothing really you can do except let it run its course, if it is Denial of Age then it will most likely pass, if they contuse to fight you may need to consult a vet to see what he thinks. Sorry I can’t give more but I hope this helps.

I also have a pitbull.. Hes 8 months old... and me and my boyfriend took him to see his mom and dad (my boyfriends brother has the parents to my puppy) and Kato fought badly with them... and they werent playing... First I would try the muzzle... How old is your dog? I mean if she is young. then you dont want to put her down yet... If the muzzle doesnt work..Then maybe you have friends or something that would take her so she is out of that situation... If all else fails.. then I guess you will have to put her down. But I dont think she will become a vicious dog...
Hope This Helps..Good Luck

Dogs fight and hurt eachother no matter what, when it comes to these kind of dogs it can become a life and death matter as we sadly experienced.
We had 2 Rottweilers and 2 mix breed small hunting dogs and one of the hunting dogs had a fight with one of the rottweilers and the rottweiler accidently killed him. However he had never hurt another dog before that and not after so it was a heat of the moment thing, two dogs fighting about who's the boss and the smaller one not giving up when he should. If we would have been there we would have stopped the fight of course but we were both at work and the dogs in their pen.
This sounds to me like your relatives dog is showing your dog who lived there first and who's the boss and your dog might want to fight for that right... It doesn't matter that they known eachother for all their life. You might have to separate them but I beleive she will not be to any harm to any other dogs.
To be on the safe side you might want to contact an organisation that knows more, try [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) or [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
You can find lots of information on the internet but also talk to your local vet.
Good luck!!! x

I don't think you have to worry about your dog becoming vicious...pitbulls have a bad reputation and i hate that because it really matters how they were raised and it sounds liek you raised a loving dog...so i think the problem is PITBULLX was fine with your dog until she moved in and now she feels she has to share everything and won't get all the attention...I have a feeling your dog didn't even start the fight! I think you should wait a couple of days and let them be around eachother and get used to it and if your petting one pet the other so there is equal attention...if they still fight..im sorry it might be hard but I think you'll need to find another home for your dog..for her safety! i h0pe i helped good luck..x0x *caitie*

i think getting the two dogs away from each other as soon as possible would solve alot of the problem. id say try and find another loving relative willing to hold on to the dog for a while.hope i helped.

the dog is fighting because he is most likely a dog that needs all of the attention, i have a dog and then we got another dog they always foght over attention so we had to give our other dog away to a family that would only have one dog, so she could have all of the attention i was really sad but i knew that my dog would be happier with all of the attention.so i think you should find a new home for your dog and make sure to tell the people that your dog needs all of the attention and not to get another dog
