Hello, I am new to this forum but need advice and help on this matter from people who will understand our breed.
I have 2 English bulldogs both females, both spayed, and they are only a few months apart in their ages. They are both 2 years of age right now and I also brought them into my home when they were puppies only a few months apart so its like they were brought home at the same time, and have lived as best friends for the past 2 years. Their names are Tessa and Remmy.
Tessa who is just 4 months older is the more dominant bully, she takes control of situations and you can tell is the Alpha female in the house. But would never hurt a fly. She is sweet and loving, and just full of life, she comes from a champion bloodline and the list goes on and on. I mean other then being to sweet she has no problems with her what so ever.
Both dogs have gotten their yearly shots, with Rabies vaccine, and they are both on heartgard and advantage. They get plenty of excercise, and live a very happy life. Nothing physically has changed as far as their daily life or in the house to disrupt daily life with them.
The problem started a week and half ago with Tessa who like I stated ist he top bully. She started a physical fight with Remmy and they were aggressively fighting until I was able to break them apart and send them to their crates. I thought that it may have been over a bone or toy or something. These daily fights have occured at least once a day if not more for over a week. I have tried picking up all the toys and bones so there is no jealously, putting numerous toys and bones down to pick from etc but nothing has worked. If Tessa is in the same room with Remmy she will fight her. Its like she can't stand the sight of her anymore. If they are outside Tessa has started smelling her and even trying to lick her undercarriage and excessively humping Remmy to the point where they fighting starts outside. We have gone on for a week like this and I have no idea what to do.
These 2 bully's were so close like they were from the same litter and sisters who one day had an argument and that was it. Now I have to keep them totally seperated from one another. Remmy is in fear and runs and tries to hide from Tessa because of so many fights. And I am at my wits end with it all.
I have noticed that since it all started last week Tessa hasn't been herself. She seems to be on edge a lot, bowed up (she has a wide bulldog chest) and constantly starting down any actions going on around her by people or other animals. She seems to have lost her care freeness and sweetness and turned into a huge no pun intended "bully"
I don't know what has sparked this sudden aggression in her. It has been two years and its like last week she just snapped and has been like that since last week everyday.
I really need advice and help on what could have made her suddenly snap and go off and hate her sister bully so much to the point that now they can't be in the same room with one another without Tessa starting a physical fight. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I will be making an apt to take TEssa to the vet but I just wanted others advice and because I don't know what in the world to tell the vet to check for or what to tell him to look for because I don't know what could have caused it.
