Thanks Andrea actually that could be a real help. Sandy and Maya always used to play quite rough Sandy would end up on her back with the pup on top lol they used to play for ages rolling around on the grass and I've noticed this past week Sandy won't let her play. Sandy used to be the one who instigated the play most of the time but at the mo she just doesnt want to know.

We dont get foxes around her so I dont think its that but all the other things u said seem exactly right! didn't occur to me that it was the play but the fact they havent played since about the time I noticed the scabs would be spot on.
