你的狗在地毯上摩擦臉的 4 個原因

 by jaime on 14 Jul 2014 |
48評論)
許多狗主人已經處理了看到家裡的狗走進客廳並在地毯上擦臉的困惑(和沮喪),通常是在房間被吸塵之後。許多狗主人在解釋這種常見的行為特徵時不知所措。那麼當你的狗在地毯上蹭臉時是什麼意思呢?有什麼事情困擾著狗嗎?只是癢嗎?
 
稍微清理一下
你的狗在地毯上擦臉的最可能原因是想要清潔它的臉。有兩次你的狗可能會在地毯上擦臉,特別是為了清潔自己。一種是當你的狗吃完飯後,它的臉上和鼻子周圍有少量食物。為了減輕這些食物帶來的瘙癢感,您的狗會在地毯上擦臉以清除食物。另一個常見的時間是早上的第一件事。如果您的狗醒來時往往會因眼部大黃(或眼鼻屎)而醒來,那麼使用地毯清潔臉上的大黃並不少見。雖然你不能做任何事情來避免在進食後清潔它的臉,但如果定期出現明顯的類風濕,你可以在早上擦拭你的狗的臉。
 
古怪的皺紋
如果您的狗有面部褶皺,例如哈巴狗或鬥牛犬,您可能已經習慣於看到您最好的朋友每天在地毯上擦它的臉。有皺紋的犬種,尤其是臉上的深皺紋,經常會使用地毯作為瘙癢、清潔和緩解刺激的手段。這些皺紋很容易收集污垢、細菌和食物顆粒。結果,您的狗將使用地毯清潔臉部並緩解任何不適。你可以通過伸出你的小狗手並偶爾擦掉它的褶皺來避免這種情況。
 
感染、過敏和蟎蟲
雖然不像需要清潔自己那麼常見,但您的狗也可能會在地毯上摩擦它的臉,以緩解由感染、過敏和蟎蟲引起的瘙癢和刺激。導致狗在地毯上摩擦臉的最常見感染是耳朵感染。如果您發現您的狗經常在地毯上摩擦耳朵和臉,請檢查耳朵是否有分泌物。如果它的耳朵又紅又腫,你應該帶你的狗去看獸醫。
 
狗的過敏通常表現為極度瘙癢。當您發現您的狗不停地在地毯上擦臉時,這可能是由於家庭環境中的新產品引起了過敏反應。如果您最近更換了食物或開始使用新的清潔劑,那可能是擦臉的根源。
 
耳蟎是在狗耳朵裡築巢的討厭的寄生蟲。耳蟎感染會導致狗的耳朵強烈不適,並引起強烈的瘙癢慾望。在許多情況下,在地毯上或家具上摩擦它的臉是你的狗能找到的最好的解脫方式。密切注意麵部摩擦的任何增加,因為嚴重的感染可能會給您的狗帶來高度的不適。
 
為什麼不?
有時你的狗隻是喜歡在地毯上摩擦它的臉。你的狗在地毯上揉臉並不總是需要一個理由。有時狗隻是發現在地毯上發癢是一種有趣的感覺,它們會這樣做只是因為它很有趣。與任何寵物行為一樣,如果您密切關注揉臉的頻率,您將能夠快速確定它是為了好玩還是因為有什麼問題。

這種擦臉會不會是壞牙造成的?還是牙齒問題?

My boxer had the same problem. Scratching behind his ears and the sides of his nose til they bled. Rubbing his face and ears on the carpet. Violently shaking his head from side to side; whimpering and crying out in anguish and pain. Also there was a "corn chips" smell coming from his ears (telltale sign of yeast infection) The vet said no mites, no fleas, but turns out to be a yeast infection and allergies from his food. Kibbles n bits. (Main ingredient is corn) we stopped feeding him that and instead feed him mostly grain free dog food and some plain yogurt once in a while. Also had to bathe him more frequently using a shampoo specifically to kill fungus. We just had to make sure not to dry up the oil on his skin or coat so gave him alaskan Salmon Oil ( they sell it at Walmart) Couldn't believe the difference in such a short amount of time. Stay strict with his diet and bathe him more frequently until yeast infection is completely gone. No SUGARS

Our Scrappy Doo is a 7 year old chiweenee.(Dashound & Chee-Wa-Wa) Rubbing mug in floor/ grass till bloody/injured and completely disturbed in pain. He also has excessive licking between the toes. However if you examine your pet you'll know. Scrappy is short hair and over maintence so he don't allow bugs on board.
Your dog having these symptoms needs diet regulation.
Scrappy ate human food and I'm responsible just trying to help.

我的狗在吃雞 vindaloo 後會這樣做
iona - Comment
iona29 Jul 2017Reply
I suggest you do not give your dog vindaloo anymore. He has a very sensitive mouth like all dogs, and the spice is too much for him as well as not being good for him. As the poem by Pam Ayres goes:
Love is like a curry and i'll explain it to you,
That love comes in three flavours, cold, hot, and vindaloo.
Of course it's like a curry,
It cannot be denied,
For both are full of spice and both have dishes on the side.
- Pam Ayres

so my simple advice to you is if you love your dog, don't give him any more vindaloo.

My yorkie is doing this? He just started it 3 days ago I have treated him for fleas but he is acting really strange. He keeps rubbing on the couch and his bed, I'm feeling helpless just now. He's always good health and happy now he's frustrated and looks depressed some times. Any advice would be great. Thanks in advance.

If you have a small dog that rubs his head on the carpet, won't eat hard food, has bad breath then have his teeth checked. My adopted havanese had a severe tooth infection causing him to lose 32 of his 42 teeth.

I just rescued a yorkiepoo that does this often and with gusto. Most of the time she's a chill little pup but man sometimes she just goes for it rubbing her face on the floor.

I don't know much of her history before me, she's 2ish months old and I just took her to the vet yesterday for a health check. She's 100% healthy. So I think it's just a weird stimulating thing for her. She also hides under my coffee table. She's weird. Lol.

My pug is almost 2 years old, he rubs his face on the carpet or couch, recently he's developed a bit of hair loss, and redness on his upper lip from doing this, this morning he bled a bit as well. He has abit of a runny nose, but I read that if the discharge is clear then not to worry about it, only worry if its green or yellow. I thought the runny nose was causing the redness and it would stop soon, but now he's bleeding and I'm worried.

我該如何補救?有必要去看獸醫嗎?

Poor baby. If he is bleeding I suggest the Vet, before it gets infected. I believe it could be a yeast infection. Maybe even an ear infection. Just possibilities.

我的 shihpoo 也有同樣的問題。他在他的短鼻子/鼻子出現的小區域非常癢。不是在他真正的鼻子上,而是他的皮毛在上面。我不知所措。獸醫說這只是刺激皮膚,保持頭髮短而乾淨。它沒有幫助。他甚至不會再讓我們撫摸他的頭了。太傷心了,我只是不知道發生了什麼。

I called my vet but he's not back until Friday. Any suggestions? Ive bathed her - she has no ticks or fleas. I checked her ears and she has no signs of irritation or infection. Any suggestions or help is appreciated!

真是一堆廢話!耳朵感染?幾乎不!他們這樣做是因為感覺很好。無論是在地毯上、草地上,還是在雪地裡。顯然,你在提拔獸醫,並認為人們應該對他們的錢輕浮。

為什麼心胸這麼狹隘?雖然狗確實喜歡在地毯、床、草等上擦臉,但還有其他伴隨的行為可能具有非常不同的含義。例如,如果一隻狗將自己揉到流血的程度,這並不表示高興。我的 Spitz-pom 經常享受很好的面部按摩,但最近他一直在嗚咽和顫抖,同時眨著一隻眼睛。儘管人們知道他在“摩擦”時會吠叫或咕噥,但他快樂時不會嗚咽或顫抖。這些是某種痛苦的跡象。由於已知他有季節性過敏症,我傾向於相信他在認為他很享受之前會發癢。如果一個人了解他們的毛皮寶寶,就不應該有什麼是有趣的,什麼是痛苦的,需要獸醫注意的問題。

你好,
我將非常感謝一些建議。您在文章中提到狗在早上揉臉。我的實驗室波比只在早上揉她的下巴,相當過度,然後可能每天抓幾次。她的血液檢查表明她對季節性花粉、常年蟎蟲/黴菌和跳蚤唾液過敏。她也有食物過敏,但驗血沒有說明什麼(另外 250 英鎊)。我已盡我所能消除過敏,但她仍然抓撓。一年前我讓她吃生食,想知道她是否會對臉上的肉做出反應?只是一個長鏡頭。我想知道你是否知道只是揉下巴?哦,她舔了很多她的外陰。謝謝塔尼亞😊

我在谷歌上搜索了一個問題,想知道為什麼我的救援,4 歲的小獵犬在地毯、沙發、枕頭和他的“毯子”上擦鼻子。他似乎喜歡在外面或早上醒來或長時間小睡後這樣做。到目前為止,他似乎在玩耍或將氣味放在地板上。當他這樣做時,我會告訴他“鼻子發癢”一分鐘左右,他會變得非常頑皮,甚至會發出頑皮的吠叫或咕嚕聲。我只是好奇是否有其他人發生這種情況以及他們為什麼這樣做。他吃乾糧和罐頭食品,通常不含穀物。而且,他大多數早上都和我分享一根香蕉,吃一兩口我正在吃的東西。對於那些有寵物受傷的人,我很抱歉。自從我得到他以來發生的最糟糕的事情是他非常焦慮分離。我給了他一半的安眠藥(在他的獸醫的建議下)、鎮靜藥片和一件雷聲襯衫。他因被放入背帶而感到非常沮喪,以至於在試圖離開時損壞並折斷了幾顆門牙。我們都愛我們的毛皮寶寶,只想給他們最好的。

That's CVD or Canine Vestibular Disease. Needs to see the vet; antibiotics, antihistamines, going to need a lot of support and tlc. The dog's organs of balance have been compromised, deep within the ears; the horizon has gone. Recovery is possible. It's not a 'stroke', which many owners think it is. No slippery floors, put down mats, assist with feeding and drinking, support whilst outside, remove any objects that the dog might crash into. The eye movements are called nystagmus. Google canine vestibular disease, lots of support out there.

HELP!!! My mini poodle was born half blind and the only thing that the breeder and vet could come up with is that it’s genetics...(we had him fixed so it would not happen anymore to another dog near us) but he’s been rubbing his eye on the carpet some mornings and nights and I took him out the other day and he started rubbing his eye on the CONCRETE PARKING LOT!!!! I stopped him immediately and asked my mother who works with the vet what to do and she was lost because we don’t know exactly 100% what it is that’s caused his condition. So we tried childerens benedryl and prescription eye drops for him and it helped the first couple of days then it stopped working and that’s how we got to him rubbing it on concrete. His right eye is completely white from the time he opened his eyes and his left eye looks like half of it is rolled back, so he can see about 10-15%. but for the first 4 months he didn’t blink at all he 關閉d his eyes a little when he slept but after the 4 months it’s almost like he gained his sensitivity and he used to not even feel pain or react to it, I mean needles/injections, walking into metal poles or running full speed into a door plenty of times he just keeps on we even tested him by pinching near tender skin and it was almost like he didn’t even know. But after he turned 5 months old it was almost like having a non disabled dog he could walk with me off the leash and potty training was going great and now he doesn’t leave my side and seems really agitated near his eyes and just rubs them constantly please help me figure out what might be wrong he’s 6 and a half months now and I want him with me for as long as possible

My 3yr old Chihuahua seems to enjoy rubbing his face on carpet and throw rugs.. He does mostly after eating.. Thought it might be from food getting stuck in his teeth so I rub his jaws forward & he opens his mouth like hes yawning We started calling it "wash that face" & the more we repeat the more he does it.He is a long hair chi mix so after reading all these post I've come to conclusion it's a grooming habit.

My dogs rub their faces in the carpet after their baths! Even after drying them, they still do it. But actually they could be rubbing their ears along the carpet to get the water out, just how we tilt our heads and shake to get water out of our ear canals. I saw some videos where groomers pull hair out of a few dogs' ear canals because the hair were irritating, causing the dogs to be in a unpleasant mood. After the hair were removed, the dogs deposition were improved. So look 關閉ly at your pet and see if he/she is rubbing face or ears. Ear infections are common in pets and should be looked into more often.

Muy buen articulo. Agradezco haberlo leido. Ya tengo la idea de lo que pudo suceder con mi Boarder Collie. Sucede que lavando el garage, mate un cienpies rojo y grande. Al cabo de unas horas, mi Boarder llego e inmediatamente olió el sitio donde pisé el cienpies. En ese mismo instante mi perra tuvo una reaccion inmediata de arquear su espalda como estremeciendose, a lo cual, un tanto desconcertada y en una rapida reación, ella bajo su rostro al piso y miré como si estuviera tratando de impregnarse de ese olor. Como si le causara una emoción, mas no se si negativa o positiva, o tal vez erotica... no lo sé. Y ahora que lo pienso, ¿estaria tratando de matar ella misma al insecto? despues de unos dos o tres minutos, ella volvio a la normalidad de siempre. y regreso al sitio del olor como 3 veces nadamas.
