Dogs’ tails don’t like being touched by others, but many parents have seen that their dogs keep biting their tails in circles like a hot wheel. What’s wrong?
1. Amuse yourself.
Dogs are lively and energetic by nature. When the dog is bored, or the shit shovel officer is too busy to play with it, he really has nothing to do. He treats his tail as a small toy and plays with his little tail.
2. Anal gland problems.
The dog’s anal glands are not cleaned regularly, the secretions of the anal glands accumulate, and the anal glands are inflamed, and there will be tail biting, turning in circles, and sometimes rubbing the buttocks. Clean out your dog’s anal glands.
3. Psychological factors.
Dogs are emotional animals and can suffer from mental illness. Some dogs who love tail-chasing are caused by obsessive-compulsive disorder, may have been abused, or are not valued by their owners, and will deliberately chase their tails, hoping to attract their owners’ attention. You can play with your dog more often to relieve the dog’s anxiety.
4. Skin diseases or parasites.
When dogs feel itching and discomfort due to skin diseases or parasites, they cannot scratch with their feet. They can only relieve it by biting their tails and turning in circles.
First observe the dog’s tail and body for redness, hair loss, wound inflammation and infection, and rule out skin diseases. If no deworming has been done recently, external parasites bite, or internal parasites migrate to the perianal area, all of which will cause the dog to bite its tail and turn in circles.
For external deworming, lice enemy drops can be used to target lice, fleas, ticks and other external parasites, one per month for long-term protection. Albendazole is used for deworming in vivo against intestinal parasites such as roundworms, hookworms, tapeworms, flukes, and nematodes.
