I would recommend consulting a trainer that comes to your home. They can monitor them and see exactly what is going on and see if there is a trigger. They can also work with you and both of them to try to get them to get along. The other option is if you know who is instigating everything you can talk to your veterinarian about medications for them. This may also help. I always recommend starting with a trainer before trying medications but sometimes medications are what will help. If you cannot get them to get along and they are really hurting each other rehoming one is the best option. Unfortunately no one wants to do this but if it stops the fighting it may be worth it.
