Canine Compulsive Disorder

狗也有强迫症?


Yaël: Your dog Raphine sure to be seemed to be licking his legs excessive. Is he Ok?


Don: It’s nothing!


Y: I’m afraid not, Don. Raphine may have what animal behaviorists call canine compulsive disorder. It’s a behavioral disorder related to anxiety, and scientists estimate that it affects two percent of the dog population.


Any range of odd, unexplainable repetitive behaviors may indicate the presence of the disease. This includes excessivelicking, but also tail chasing, chewing with an empty mouth, and barking repetitively without any change in volume or intonation. It’s a serious problem that may not only interfere 1 with the human-animal bond, but that can lead to physical problems for the dog. For example, dogs who lick themselves raw are prone to infection, and some dogs with this disorder will quit eating or drinking.


D: My poor Raphine! What do I do?


Y:Because the problem is tied to anxiety and stress, one thing you don’t want to do is punish your Raphine, which will only increase his stress and worsen the problem. Also, the longer the problem goes ignored, the more difficult it is to treat. See a veterinarian who works with animals with behavioral problems. Behavior modifications such as stabilizing 2 the environment, interacting consistently, redirecting the animal’s behavior, and increased exercise benefit some dogs.


Also, at present, research is being conducted to find out whether dogs with this disease will respond to a drug called a selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitor, which is being successful in treating obsessive-compulsive behavior in humans.



Yaël:你的狗Raphine好像一直在舔腿,它没事吧?


Don:没事呀!


Y:恐怕没那么简单吧,Raphine可能得了一种和精神焦虑相关的犬强迫性紊乱症。科学家估计有2%的狗会患此病。


Y:一旦有异常、莫名的重复性行为都可能是这种病的症状。其中包括嗜舔、追尾、空口吮吸、同声调或同音量的重复犬吠。千万别忽视!这不但影响宠物和主人的关系,还可能给狗带来健康隐患。比如,狗如果狗舔有伤口的地方,可能会感染。一些患病的狗可能不吃不喝。


D:我可怜的Raphine!我该怎么办呀?


Y:因为这种疾病和精神因素包括压力或焦虑有关,所以Raphine这样,你不能罚它,不然Raphine更紧张了,这只会让事情更糟。而且,耽搁得越久,越难治愈。去看看兽医吧,特别是有治疗行为障碍动物经验的。安定的外界环境、经常的宠物和主人间的互动、纠正宠物的行为习惯、加强宠物的锻炼,对一些狗的治愈是有所帮助的。


此外,现在科学家在研究选择性5-羟色胺再摄取抑制剂是否能治愈狗的这种病,选择性5-羟色胺再摄取抑制剂在治愈人类强迫症上疗效显著。 


compulsive disorder:强迫症


obsessive:强迫性的


selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitor:选择性5-羟色胺再摄取抑制剂
