Betty is Acting Weird... For the last two days, Betty gets her pink pig stuffed animal and clamps her teeth down on it and holds it in her mouth. THEN, she kind of zones out and, tonight, she was kneading her paws, one at a time, like a cat does (making biscuits). What is up with that all of a sudden? Is she 'pretend nursing'? Is it a sexual thing, or what?? Anybody else ever see this? She is not a baby, she is 10 months old. :eek: Help! |
My mom's 12 year old doxy does this! :eek: He kinda sucks on the toy. We have always attributed it to the fact that he was weaned at 5 weeks old - but who knows! My Rowdy occasionaly puts a toy in his mouth, then kinda zones out, but he just lays down with the toy in his mouth, he doesn't knead or anything. I don't know what it is! :confused: |
Is she spayed? Could it be a false pregnancy or coming into heat? |
Milli does EXACTLY this with her stuffed cupcake! She clamps down on it, sucks on it, and zones out while kneading her paws! We call it her "private time" and ask her if she's "giving nookie to the cupcake"... :p hahaha! Usually she does it while we're watching TV or a movie, or laying in bed on Saturday mornings. I don't think it's harmful-I think she's fake nursing. I think it brings her back to puppyhood or something-it's like a child sucking their thumb or something-she does it as a comfort. It's so good to know we're not alone in this, whatever it is! Anyone know?? I'd like to know too! |
I don't know why she does it, but I'm sure it's not harmful to her. |
haha Lexi does exactly the same thing! Antyhing thats stuffed...she just lays down and somewhat sucks on it. Sometimes, you will see her make this little, barely there, jolt. but she just lays still. I always thought it was kinda funny. i just let her be. I see it like a baby with its pacifier..lol. :p |
