Why did suddenly your clever and trained dog become spiteful and biting, cat all day hiding in the toilet, and the parrot cuts circles under the ceiling? Sometimes it's just whims, and at times - the symptoms of serious illnesses. How can they be distinguished? What to do about it? Be cautious: the initial symptoms of certain diseases, many of which are dangerous for humans, can be determined by noticing the strange behavior of pets. Sometimes from the timely assistance rendered depends the further health or even the life of the pet and its owners.
DOGS OF EMOTION are UNPREDICTABLE.
The rabies virus affects the brain, so the behavior of the pet can dramatically change. Animals without obvious causes become fearful, wary. A good-natured dog can suddenly bite. Or, on the contrary, pets show excessive tenderness, even obtrusiveness. You should be alerted by a shaky walk and endless walking around in a circle, the so-called werewolf. Notice such changes? Do not wait - lead the pet to the vet!
If you notice that your dog is walking, tilting his head to one side, do not think that he listens carefully to what you say. The inclination of the head can be caused by pain and swelling of the ear canal with a strong inflammation. Here, too, do not delay a visit to the doctor. Bound gait, heavy rising after sleep and hunched back suggest pain in the lower back with radiculitis or kidney disease. "Riding the pope" on the ground or on the floor indicates that the pet is experiencing discomfort in the anus. Hence, the inflammation of paranal glands began, which must be cleared of the accumulated secret and a course of treatment.
Dogs often ride on their backs. But if the dog began to do this all the time, examine the area of the withers, back and waist. Rather, the dog is tormented by itching due to irritation on the skin or a riot of parasites.
Sometimes dogs behave unusually after estrus. The hormonal splash in the body allows the dog to feel like a mother. She begins to protect soft toys, protect them from the owner, tries to feed them and lick them. Such a condition usually goes by itself, only in rare cases requires the intervention of a doctor.
Sometimes the behavior of pets is changing, and not for the better, when the host family has problems. Dogs sensitively perceive the tense atmosphere in the house and become aggressive or fearful. During a quarrel between household members, a dog can suddenly bite a person. It is better not to find out the relationship on elevated tones with your pet.
CATS LIKE TO SURPRISE.
Cats constantly amaze their hosts throughout their cat's life. And, it does not depend on their breed, nor on age, nor even on character. Therefore, people often mistaken for the disease the strange behavior of their moustached pets. A cat can suddenly lose its appetite, do not stand up from the floor for days, constantly bend, making mirthful sounds. And all this is absolutely normal! And different cats show with different strength and duration - this, like people, depends on sexual temperament.
A sign of the onset of urolithiasis is a permanent posture for urination. Disease is dangerous for the male feline tribe. The main thing - in time to notice that the cat makes unsuccessful attempts to go to the toilet, and immediately go to the doctor.
Their behavior sometimes changes dramatically when another animal appears in the house or at the birth of a child. For a cat who has got used to the order of things in the house, this is a huge stress. Other cats, especially those not sterilized, begin to show aggression and can surreptitiously attack even the owners themselves. Sterilization is one of the ways to calm a raging pet. Moving to a new place of residence and the stress associated with habitat change lead such hypersensitive creatures like cats to the fact that they fall into a deep depression, stop eating, become fearful and alert. In this situation, only the caress of the owner can help - give the pussy more attention.
POPUGAYCHIK LOVED?
Reduced activity and poor appetite is the first symptom of any disease in parrots. Your pet always sits on a crossbar in a cage, his breathing is quickened, he's all disheveled, feathers pounded? Run to the vet! Almost all diseases in birds progress very quickly, so that the pet is only possible during the first days and sometimes hours of the disease. Daily plucking of feathers can be associated with a nervous breakdown. You should always try to begin to eliminate the causes that caused stress, then to conduct a course of treatment with vitamins. Be sure to caress the unfortunate bird, make it clear that you love her.
Sometimes birds switch to nightlife: only light turns off, as the parrot starts to worry, rushes around the cage, makes noise. This may be due to the presence of feathered bloodsucking parasites, which are activated at night. Do not delay, treat a bird! Fortunately, the drugs are now quite good and different.
If the parrot with pleasure tears off the wall wallpaper, pulls the thread from the veil, and then hides it all in different corners - on the closet or behind the picture - do not worry! This is not a symptom of a disease or that your friend has a lack of vitamins. He just fucks the nest, looking for this suitable building material. He collects it, wherever he can. This does not depend on whether the bird lives alone or in pairs. So even single individuals behave in a businesslike manner, regardless of gender.
FISH FALLS DOWN.
After watching closely the behavior of aquarium fish, you can prevent many different diseases.
For example, when there is not enough dissolved oxygen in the water, the fish begin to ascend to the surface. Quickly opening his mouth, he greedily swallows the air.
If the disease affects the air bubble - the body of equilibrium of fish, they tend to swim their heads down or lie on their sides. When the fish begins to rub against the soil, pebbles and driftwood, it is likely that parasites have spread on her body that can cause severe itching.
The manifestation of aggression to each other in fish can be caused by an overly tight aquarium and an improper selection of fishes in size and species ratio. So large offend small.
WEAK PSYCHIC GRACES.
Rodents are particularly stressed. Much more than all other animals! Your chinchilla jerks his head sharply, if they take it in their hands? She's afraid of you! A hamster, after a long "communication" with people, can not get out of the house for days, refusing to eat.
And, for example, eating your feces with rabbits and guinea pigs is normal. So they make up for the shortage in the body of certain enzymes. Let such strange habit of rodents do not frighten you. Reduced activity and lack of appetite is a sign that the pet should be urgently carried to the veterinarian.
MYSTERIOUS REPTILES.
Change or strangeness in the behavior of reptiles can be noticed either by a very experienced, professional, or very attentive owner. Because turtles, snakes, chameleons and other animals from the genus of reptiles lead a leisurely way of life and spend most of the day without movement. By their behavior at once you do not recognize whether they are sick or healthy, only specialists can do it. Walking in a circle and constant strikes against the glass of the terrarium can testify to diseases of the nervous system. If the tortoise constantly rubs its paws in the nose area - it has a runny nose! Changes in gait indicate the diseases of the spine and paws.
Aggression in relation to a neighbor on a terrarium is, like fish, caused by constrained conditions of life, and sometimes - hormonal imbalance. The vet will tell you what to do.
Of course, one must be a keen host to distinguish harmless strangeness from signs of disease.
