Boredness Causes

When a dog is bored, he will use his tail as a toy and chase it to his heart's content. This situation often occurs in dogs who are alone at home. When they lack playmates or when their owners pay little attention to them, they will play with their tails.

Skin disease may be caused by trauma

It may be caused by trauma, bacteria, fungi, mites, etc. A skin examination is required to determine the specific cause. The dog's tail is itchy, so the dog will want to lick it.

Caused by parasites

When a dog has parasites such as fleas, lice or ticks, the dog will keep looking back and bite its tail quickly to relieve the itching . At this time, most dogs will be very protective of their tails and find it difficult to get close.

Causes of diseases

Anal adenitis, perianal tumors, perianal inflammation, dermatitis, etc. will all cause dogs to chase their own tails and bite. The owner must first find the cause and then prescribe the right medicine.
