Re the aggression.
I've just been away all weekend and the pup was running with a pack aged 5, 1, and five months, he is six months, three males, one female.
Every one a 'dominant' type. There was a lot of rough-housing and there were a few fights, some of them sounded horrendous, there were dogs being dumped on the floor, everyone covered in slobbers, I tried to wade in a couple of times but my hosts said 'no, let them sort it out'.
And they did. And a few moments later everything was back to normal. No biting, no puncture wounds, just a lot of noise and teeth and posturing. And then after the dust had settled, they all went back to their places and chilled.
I don't really know what point I am trying to make, but it certainly opened my eyes to how much I panic about stuff that I don't really need to panic about.
I do agree though, it may really be a pain response x

and I need to get Brig's prescription from the vet anyway so I'll have a chat with him then.
