2 more questions regarding my new adoptee...
First- My girl Daisy is 8 years old and I have just introduced 3 year old Riley within the past couple of weeks. Riley is very very sweet and passive. Daisy will attack him out of the blue sometimes. Does anyone have any advice on how to handle this type of aggression? It is usually when Riley comes near her food or if I am on the floor petting Riley and Daisy seems like she gets jealous and she will get aggressive.
Second- Daisy has a cyst on her back that ruptured a long time ago and now it simply will not heal. Its the size of a quarter. Riley has sniffed it out and now all he wants to do is clean it for her. She doesnt seem to mind that he is licking her wound... keeping in mind that she cant reach it on her back so maybe it feels good, but why is he so interested in it??
