At i-Care Veterinary Hospital, we understand that your pet’s health and well-being are of utmost importance. Observing unusual behaviours in your furry friend can be worrying and often leaves pet owners searching for answers. This blog post delves into the complexities of diagnosing and treating pets showing signs of anxiety, restlessness, and other unexplained behaviours, inspired by a recent case we encountered.
Identifying the Signs
Pet owners may notice their dogs exhibiting strange behaviours, such as chewing on objects without apparent reason, pacing at night, or staring at themselves in mirrors. While these actions may seem benign at first glance, they can sometimes be indicative of underlying health issues. Weight loss and changes in activity levels, such as difficulty getting up or dragging feet, are particularly concerning signs that warrant professional attention.
The Diagnostic Process
At i-Care Veterinary Hospital, our approach to unexplained pet behaviours begins with a thorough examination, considering both physiological and psychological factors. It’s crucial to rule out physical health problems that could be causing or contributing to your pet’s distress.
