Ako tvoj ljubimac ovako drži glavu, nešto nije u redu

Većina vlasnika mačaka ili pasa ne zna da je takvo ponašanje znak za ozbiljnu opasnost. Čak i ako četveronožni ljubimac djeluje smireno, u toj situaciji životinje trpe bolove – ne mogu nam jednostavno treći što im je… Dakle, fotografirati životinju kad to radi i potom se smijati tom 'šašavom' ponašanju nije nimalo ispravno. 

 

• PET FACT OF THE DAY • These pets are not in a time-out. They’re HEAD PRESSING, which occurs when an animal pushes his or her head into a solid structure, such as a wall, for an extended period of time. If you observe this behavior in your dog or cat (or related behaviors such as pacing, walking in circles, sudden eye problems, biting at the air, or seizure activity), take your pet to a veterinarian immediately as these are signs of a very severe and life-threatening health issue. 🏥 • Causes of head pressing include various diseases of the brain and surrounding structures (such as encephalitis, other inflammatory and infectious diseases, tumors, toxicity, stroke, and head trauma), dangerously high or low blood sodium levels, or severe liver disease (such as portosystemic shunt, or PSS) which causes hepatic encephalopathy (high blood levels of ammonia). • #TheMeowingVet #PetFactoftheDay #petfacts #veterinarian #veterinarysurgeon #veterinarymedicine #vetmed #veterinarytechnician #vettech #veterinarynurse #veterinaryblog #vetblog #pets #pethealth #dogs #doghealth #cats #cathealth #veterinaryneurology #neurology #neurovet #neuro #headpressing #seizures #epilepsy 📷: DogHeirs (www.dogheirs.com)

Kad vidiš životinju da pritišće glavom zid, odmah je odvedi veterinaru! To može biti simptom tumora, otrovanja, moždanog udara, upale mozga ili infekcije živčanog sustava. 

Ako ljubimca brzo odvedeš veterinaru, postoji velika šansa da potpuno ozdravi. Vlasnici životinja bi općenito morali paziti na promjene ponašanja kućnih ljubimaca – nikad se ne događaju bez razloga i radije neka ih UVIJEK razjasni veterinar.
