I am worried.
Hector and Hamish are roughly3yrs old.
Bit of background first, Hamish hurt himself on Wednesday night, he was limping & not weight bearing on his front foot. He has very swollen front elbow joint.
We went to the vets yesterday, he’s on Metacam & was using his paw a little more this morning.
However, I just put the boys in the playpen while I clean out their home and we have a full on hump-a-thon.
The boys are usually pretty chilled towards each other and it’s hard to tell who’s boss, we thought it was Hamish.
I have removed everything except the hay pile, and they have been going for 5 mins. Hector currently has had the last hump- Hamish is laying down eating. …. No he had just been mounted again.
Really concerned that Hamish has an injury-I don’t really know how long I should let them try to settle their differences.
I am sure Hector is challenging Hamish as Hamish is not well.
Any ideas welcome.
How long do I give it before separating and using neutral territory? (The playpen is exactly the same as last night, plenty of used bedding).
