Such a scary thing to happen. I agree with others, it probably all happened so fast they didnt even realise it was Tabitha. The things with dogs is that they are a bit simple. The more something hurts them, the more they attack. An example I mean it by, my old Max once met a hedgehog in the garden. He went up to sniff it and got pricked on the nose. Annoyed and shocked, he tried to grab it. He got pricked even more. Now in pain, he tried to bite the poor hedgehog who was now curled up in a ball. He ended up with a mouth full of spines. The hedgehog left after a bowl of dog food as the victor!! My point is (sorry, bit long winded!) If one of the dogs ran to Tabitha and she panicked and lashed out, most dogs will retaliate there for pushing Tabitha into defending herself so before you know it, you've got WW3 on your hands. What started out as a chase or a well aimed swipe, ends up with wound up animals trying to out do the other one. The fact that they all were friends again later is great. They've not frightened each other into avoidance. I wouldn't worry yourself too much. Just keep a close eye on them for a while. Hope they all recover from their scratches soon.
