Today I want to talk to our pet-loving friends about one of the things that our dogs often do - spinning around their tails. I believe you have seen the scene of puppies chasing their tails and biting them in your daily life, which really makes people wonder: what are they doing? To be honest, today I will take the opportunity to popularize and explain to you a wave of relevant knowledge about the habit of puppies "chasing tails". Let's take a look at the possibility that the puppy is sick, or it may be that the puppy is stupid, or it may be asking for attention and other different reasons. Let's learn from the various possible explanations.
The first situation may be that the puppy is really sick, such as itchy tail, ** rash, worms in the stomach, can't pull out the stool and other problems, which will make the puppy become irritable, so as to keep licking and biting the tail. That way they can relieve their pain. I remember that a little friend brought his puppy to the hospital to see a doctor, and he reflected the phenomenon of the puppy "chasing the tail". After a preliminary examination, the doctor found that the puppy's tail was covered with a small bug called scabies mite, which is the root cause of the puppy's tail. So, if your puppy suddenly starts "tail-chasing", you should take a fresh look at their physical condition
The second situation is that the puppy is so naughty, maybe he is using this method to attract the attention of adults. For example, some puppies bite and bite their tails, and when they find that their parents or other friends have noticed, they can't help but be happy, because they think that their practice can bring happiness to close people. As a result, they will show the adults "tail chasing" many times to attract more attention. Hey, in fact, the puppy is also quite attentive! Although it does seem boring at times
In the third case, it is also possible that the cuties are very lonely and lonely. Adults may be busy with work, study, or other things, and rarely have time to spend with the puppy, so they can only find some fun to relieve their boredom. Chasing the tail and biting in circles, left and right, it seems to be extremely boring, but the dogs themselves are enjoying it Ahem, seeing this, the owners have to think about it, whether to give the puppies enough companionship in their spare time, if so, we must not let the little ones play alone, after all, they are our partners in life.
The fourth situation is more special, that is, the little ones do not have a clear understanding of their tails. Compared with adult dogs, young puppies are still in their infancy, and they sometimes don't understand that the small tail is a part of their body, so they like to chase the tail and bite it. As they grow up and fully realize the importance of their tails, this tail biting behavior will gradually become less. So, for this kind of puppy, adults can rest assured, just be patient and guide.
The last case is linked to the pressures on our cities. Don't think that only humans are stressed, animals can also feel distressed and anxious. In the face of strong pressure, some puppies will choose to use fierce destruction methods to dissolve, while others will choose exercises such as chewing their tails to release When the pressure is too high, they may feel nervous, at this time chasing the tail to nibble is also a way of self-regulation. It turns out that there are so many reasons for the habit of chasing tails! It seems that we as parents still need to pay more attention, deeply study the habits and needs of our little cuties, and meet them in time, so that we can truly "prescribe the right medicine".
The above are some of the specific reasons for the puppy to "chase the tail" that I shared with you today. I hope that after reading it, you will be able to better understand your little ones and help them grow up healthily!
