I walked into the dog room when Ivy and Giselle had just finished dinner, and Ivy thought that I had food. Giselle ran up to me for some loving and Ivy attacked her.
Giselle is at the e-vet now, about to undergo surgery. Ivy ripped a chunk out of her side and there's a small spot on her back where air is collecting under her skin (subcutaneous emphysema). I'm just very disappointed. My parents are questioning Ivy's mental stability now and are convinced that she'll bite humans next. As you can imagine, they want me to give Ivy up. I, of course, know that that's ridiculous and that scuffles like this aren't unusual or uncommon. Heck, Lucky did this to Giselle several times when we first got her, but the only difference is that Lucky is flat-faced and small whereas Ivy is large and powerful.
Please, keep Giselle in your thoughts. It pains me that the only reason she got bit is because she wanted me to pet her and love on her![]()
