Ear biting - help

[Cookeh]

Hi everyone, I found my oldest guinea pig with her ears chewed and bleeding this morning. I have 3 female G/p, the youngest 2 are about 1 year old and the oldest is about 5.
They live in a 8 foot shed so have lots of room. They have always got along well until this. The eldest one always seemed to be the most dominant.
I have moved my eldest g/p inside for her own safety - is this the correct thing to do? She is eating & appears happy now she’s indoors.

Outside my experience but I appreciate the compliment @Skypipdot .
@Jaycey is also a health expert.

I think what you have done in separating her is wise.
Have you taken her to a vet?
Hope everything works out ok

Please have a read of this guide here Bonds In Trouble and keep them separated

@Cookeh It would be worth taking your oldest girl for a vet check. I've not that hierarchies can change when the dominant pig becomes ill. Maybe she's feeling a bit off so the younger ones are trying their luck with her.

Did you get to a vet @Cookeh ?
How are things now?
