If You Ever See Your Dog Or Cat Do This, Go To The Vet Immediately. It Can Probably Save Their Life.
As pet owners, it's our responsibility to be knowledgable about the warning signs that indicate that our furry friends may be in danger. But some signs are easier to pick up on than others. And one of the most serious indication of illness often goes entirely unnoticed by even the most savvy owners.
You may not even notice it, but your pet might be very sick, and recognizing the signs early could save its life.
Have you ever seen your dog or cat do something similar to this?
This behavior, in which a pet adopts a compulsive tendency to place its head against a solid object for long periods of time, is called "head pressing."
Head pressing can be a symptom of a variety of diseases, but it's most commonly an indication of damage to the nervous system, or of toxicity due to liver damage. It can also be caused by brain damage, tumors, toxic poisoning, or stroke.
