New Born Pup
Hi, I need some Piggy-whisperer wisdom to advise me about 10-month old (formerly) bonded boars who have been aggressively fighting now for several weeks. It would have appeared a standard dominance issue with rumble strutting, teeth chattering and teeth baring, however we have also experienced several full-on fights resulting in bleeding noses and cuts to the mouth. Very upsetting as we love them dearly and so wish to repair this bond. We have separated them twice overnight in the last two weeks for cooling off time. They have an 8ft x 2ft c&c cage with mezzanine in a well-lit shed, and they also have an eglu with extended outdoor run for daily lawntime. So plenty of space and they have two of everything. Two days ago we had another incident of bleeding to the mouth, we separated immediately (since re-introduced them by partitioning the run in half and made separate lawn-time areas so they can see each but not get at each other, I have to say they are still acting aggressive towards each!) my vet friend checked them over immediately after the latest fight, she advises neutering, however I've read advice contrary to this.
We just want to do what we can to repair the bond, is it broken with no chance of repair? or should we keep going and try something different? Would be super grateful for any advice. Oreo and Waffle are gorgeous and lovely boys (brothers by same Father) we just need to make sure we do the best by them to have a happy life.
i know I've written alot, but wanted you to get a good picture! Best wishes and thanks,
