Question:

: My female is now 15 months, has been through two heat cycles. We have several dogs in the house, one boston terrier, 3 lab pups, and 3 adult mixes. They all get plenty of attention, Bailey and the bt sleep in my room with me. About a month ago Bailey started chasing her tail, and I mean chasing. At first we thought it was cute, now I think she is neurotic. They get attention, exercise, and have tons! of toys- which she always use to play with- there is also nothing medical such as worms or anal sacks going on. She will literally spin as fast as she can nonstop all the time wether she is ignored, given a toy to distract, crated, the only time she'll stop is if I muzzle her and she pouts. I can try playing with her and sometimes it works, but it's getting old, she'll hit her head spinning so fast and just keep going. HELP! :0) I'm afraid shes going crazy.

I would stongly suggest that you talk to your Vet about this, spinning and certain types of this kind of behavior can be realated to medical problems. This type of thing is not consider a behavioral problem but can be associated with medical problems. If your Vet isn't familar with this type of behavior, then I suggest you try your closest Vet School, and/or seek the help or a Neurologist specialist.
Sorry we can't help you with this problem.
