I have one angry pup,!
Pixie started a fight with Sophie my senior dog, and pretty much her mother figure! It was a full on rage! This has never happened not even once in 7 years!

Then she had a fight with my other dog Alfie, her mate, the father of her pups!
Now she has put him in his place before, but never a real fights .....

I checked her head to tail for any injury, signs of illness, checked teeth, eyes, eats, butt, checked joints, back , belly fir signs if illness or pain. Nothing,! Checked poop and pee.. all fine

These all seem jealousy related , as I think the parrot attack was.

I spent an hour brushing her , bathing her and fussing over her. Till she glowed with happiness.
Hopefully to reassure her.

Ideas are welcome
As I have a problem going on
One pissed off Pixie!
 
No advice? She has attacked my parrot, and fought with two of my other dogs!!! I definitely have a problem......tho I know it's not directly s parrot problem...
 
Does she feel like she has a job and is she spayed?
Sometimes if a dog doesn't feel like he/she has a purpose, he/she will invent one (as it is their nature to do so). Also, dogs who haven't been spayed can be more prone to strange hormonal issues.
It could be underlying anxiety caused by lack of activity and other things. Have you tried getting her out of the house more or playing more rigorously? Pent-up energy can lead to restless anxiety etc.
 
She could also be getting possessive over you. What were you doing during all of these events? It is possible all of the fawning only reinforces this.
 
I've been sick, so she could feel need to protect me. She has been next to me, but I wasn't petting her or paying attention to her at the time, but all fights and bird attack happened while she was me.
All my dogs are fixed, except her. I wanted to have her fixed after her first and only planned litter. But she became very thin after litter, 4 years ago I had her worked up everybeitch way three seperate times. Healthy. Always has been thin since she was a pup. Vet said high metabolism. He refused to spay her tho. Please internet people don't give me crap over this, I have spent thousands to be assured she is healthy, x rsy, blood work, urine poop, cultures , Ultrasound, thyroid tests you name it she is just a Lean , tiny, dog.
I think because sick ( me) and stressed , and not doing anything with the dogs, and like Noodles said could be hormones...
