I’ve been trying to find information on dogs who circle or twirl on the net. Not much to find, but what I have found recommends low carb, high protein, high in triptophan diets. My reason for needing this information? The Chihuahua I got last year from fellow CCCC members Jack and Joyce Edney exhibits this behavior. He also seems to have some periods of what I can only refer to as “rage” since he gets this hard, angry look in his eyes and bites anything within reach. I’ve been calling them epileptic episodes, but they aren’t exactly like a seizure although he does appear to be exhausted and somewhat disoriented after one. Fortunately, he doesn’t have many of them and I have identified some triggers of them — baths, unfortunately seem to be a trigger as are large, white dogs :(. I thought the recommended diet was interesting and hope to get that confirmed by my vet later today.<\/p>\n
In my search, I did find something interesting about zinc poisoining in dogs which I’ve written about in the health section. Since we recently went through this with the Cockatoo, it was alarming to read that dogs are also succeptible to zinc poisoning and from such an unlikely source! No wonder I hate pennies!<\/p>\n
Hope all of you are staying cool! Thank goodness they’re saying cooler temps are in order for tomorrow!<\/p>\n
Got to run….<\/p>\n
Love to all,<\/p>\n
