Do you often see your dog chase his tail? While it may seem funny to watch him go round and round, you should know that there are various reasons for this. For all you know, your dog could be suffering from serious health concerns.
First, your dog could be suffering from impacted anal sacs or worm infestation. He chases his tail in an attempt to reach his rear part and get some relief.
Second, your dog could be bored. He is probably not getting enough physical and mental stimulation. By chasing his tail, he finds entertainment.
On a more serious note, your pet could be suffering from a neurological disorder. This will lead your dog to show behaviors that are habitual and compulsive. Moreover, if your dog has a brain injury or problems in the nervous system, he might show some peculiar behavior. Chasing his tail is one of the behaviors that can be expected.
A sudden change in your pet’s health and/or behavior should prompt a visit to your animal hospital Lakewood Ranch, FL.
