He has Caryll. Thanks everyone. Logan is doing okay and has been on a walk to the local pet shop this morning. Bought him some new toys and the same for Arthur. I am having big problems with Arthur trying to dominate him. It's been since he sniffed out Logan isn't 100% fit. He's not nasty but bullying him, trying to mount him and cornering him so he can lick the wound. It's been like this for 3 days now and I am at the end of my tether tbh. I have separated them, squirted water at Arthur, shouted at him and felt like murdering him. He is normally obedient but being very naughty and ignoring both of us. We have to physically move him sometimes. Any ideas?

Other than separating them, I'm stumped. Unless you put a cone on Arthur to stop him licking Logan's wound!

He may be being naughty in your eyes but in his maybe he is being a carer to Logan. I can understand you want to keep the wound clean etc but I'm trying to give what may be Arthur's perspective on it.

I know what you mean Chris and both yours and Carylls thoughts are some of my own.
My take on it is that Arthur is worried over Logan and thinking he needs to watch him 24/7. He seems stressed and has messed in the house overnight three mornings on the trot - He is normally always clean. Though his stomach is always affected if he's anxious. So it's a bit of a nightmare at the moment with them both. We are having to watch them every time they go into the garden or another room. Logan has taken to hiding under tables to get out of his way. At the moment they are both asleep and at opposite sides of the room.
Hope the healing kicks in soon so we can all get some rest.

Yes, he does sound stressed, doesn't he?
Poor lad. Hopefully it won't last too long now.
