I own 2 females pit bulls who recently started to have vicious fights. I am thinking of putting the aggression to sleep because I don't know what else to do.
Full Question:
Hi! I have a very serious situation. I have 2 female pit bulls, They are sisters from different litters 2 & 3 yrs. old. I had my 3 yr old spayed when she was 10 months old and in heat. It seems like since she was spayed, she's gotten aggressive toward her sister and it's getting worse. She constantly attacks my younger dog for absolutely no reason.I am at the point that I'm going to have her put down.
Yesterday she attacked my youngest dog. It was so HORRIBLE and VICIOUS. My mistake was trying to break them up, in the commotion my youngest dog accidentally bit my leg. So I ended up at the E.R.my husband said I have to make a choice. It will break my heart to have her put down but I've tried everything from separation, water, vinegar, muzzles, even a stun gun and nothing phases her. My Question on Dog Fights to you is are there hormone pills for dogs? At this time I cannot afford to take her to a behavior specialist. Please I will listen to any suggestions anyone might have.
Thank you,
Tammy

Why does your first choice have to be to kill this dog rather than look for another home?
This is a rank and pack issue. Either find a new home or buy 2 dog crates and keep these dog separated. I have a number of dogs that can never be together. I just keep them separated. I don't kill them because they happen to hate one another.
