Covered in gliderade ...

I haven't given my girls gliderade in a while because I started using it when making up their mush to help blending the veggies, just thought it mite be tastier and more nutritional than plain water.
Anyway, decided to give them a dish last night, normally they share the dish no problem but last night we had a little bit af arguing. Maybe because they haven't had it for a while and they'v forgotten how to share ... not sure.
Peeka began the argument, making the tssst noise at Boo whenever she put her face in the bowl, after 2 or 3 tssts Boo got abit annoyed and swiped Peeka across the head. They then had a little scuffle in which Boo seemed to put Peeka in her place. Then as Boo was drinking, Peeka jumped into the bowl tipping it up and covering Boo in gliderade! Poor girl looked ridiculous, all wet and spikey furred.
Boo seemed abit cross and Peeka seemed abit guilty and immediately began trying to groom Boo. Boo licked as much of herself as she could reach and Peeka cleaned her head and everywhere else. I wasn't quite sure what to do, Peeka is the one I can pick up (sometimes) whereas Boo still squirms a lot. I was worried she would get matted as the gliderade mite be abit sticky, the room was warm so it didn't take too long for her to dry after a lot of grooming. Thought i'd wait until this morning when they were sleepy to try and clean her. Looked in the pouch today and her coat is lovely and soft, you couldn't tell anything had been spilt on her.
Should I leave her? None of her fur is matted, and the girls are cuddled up together again. I'll have to get another dish and start giving the gliderade in seperate bowls from now on. Never seen them argue like that before, at least it's not a long term argument x
