Title: And I thought it was because they are morans... Post by: MFAWG on March 24, 2009, 08:22:55 PM http://dsc.discovery.com/news/2009/03/24/dog-tail-chasing.html
Quote March 24, 2009 -- A team of veterinarians has found a surprising link between compulsive tail-chasing in dogs and high cholesterol, according to a study published in the March issue of the Journal of Small Animal Practice. The finding adds to a growing body of evidence -- mostly from studies on humans -- that high cholesterol may be a marker for behavioral problems such as panic attacks and obsessive compulsive disorder, which could be expressed by frequent tail-chasing falls in dogs. Bouts of tail-chasing can also occur after a dog experiences physical trauma, surgery or illness, noted Hasan Batmaz, a member of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine at Turkey's University of Uludag, who conducted the study along with a team of colleagues. Miss Foxy is pretty sure it's because they are morans as well. Title: Re: And I thought it was because they are morans... Post by: Uisce Beatha on March 24, 2009, 08:28:24 PM Because they can.
