| My last little girl did this when she was in liver failure. When she was up on the sofa or chair she would head press in the corner of the sofa or chair. Sometimes she would head press between me and the chair if I was sitting in it. They press their head against something hence, head pressing.

girl circle around in a room, like she is not comfortable? Is she a picky eater? Throw up sometimes? Drink alot, which will make her pee alot. My little girl had a liver shunt. She didn't have many problems, she was picky eating, drink alot, peed alot. Finally she started the circling, she would walk around the living room, lay down for a minute then do it over and over. If you notice your baby doing any of these things. Go to your vet, and request a bile acids test. If you have any questions I would be happy to help. Sandy and Chance | |
