Hey. I actually came here to know the reason behind this aggression. I have a lab at my home and two street dogs who eats in our home and lives in the locality. One of them just gave birth to 4 pups a month and half ago. One of them had died just after 10 days of birth, she had a wound that was infected severely. Another one of them, a red and white pup had also got infected from the deceased pup. But the house owner of the house where the mum dog had given birth, saved the red and white pup buy medication and treatment. They were so cute and harmless like they couldn't even hurt a fly, until today. I heard a pup crying hysterically this afternoon and ran there, I thought may be there were male dogs from another locality and are trying to kill the pups. But when I got there, I was extremely surprised to find a pup outside there handmade home shivering in fear , the mum crying feebly and the red white pup sticked to the black pup's (the weakest and most peaceful of the 3) back. he had been biting the black one so roughly that his whole backside was a bloody mess. He kept crying and the red one kept growling lowly. I tried to separate separate them but it was like the red one had a dead grip and a firm intention to kill the black one. Even tried separating them with a stick, called them lovingly (to which they always come running) but to no avail. The mother started growling at me when I tried to forcibly separate them, so I had stop my attempts and come back home as I didn't wanted to get bitten by any of them, and above all I couldn't risk anything as I have my own one,at home. I tried to call for the house owner but they were out of station. Just some minutes ago the owner uncle came to to our house saying that the black pup is severely injured and had lost too much blood. They aren't sure if the black pup can be saved(he has given medical treatment), the red one is kept isolated now, and is behaving normal.
I want to know why the red one suddenly started behaving like this, it seemed like he wanted to rip the black one apart, as if he couldn't hear anything at all. I have had various street dogs fed at our house and sleeping outside but I've never seen such aggression in puppies. It's as if he was deaf and blinded by rage. I am first time dog owner so I'm sorry if I spoke too wrong, but, could it be seizure? Or rabis? Is it inherited and a gene problem?? Are they unsuitable to keep at home and in human presence? Are they unsafe?
Please if someone could answer, as they're not a specific breed and are street dogs. I'd be really appreciate it.
Regards~
