dc.description.abstract | In animals, inappropriate, exaggerated and repetitive behaviours are observed and considered to reflect stereotypic or compulsive behaviours. Often, compulsive behaviours are suggested to be derived from natural, species-typical behaviours, such as locomotion, predation or feeding, performed in an excessive, inappropriate or out-of context manner. Compulsive behaviours in animals are thought to be a way to cope with environmental factors. Other potential causes are genetic predisposition, an underlying medical condition, a neurobiological abnormality and conditioning by the owner. Compulsive behaviours in dogs share some clinical similarities with human OCD. The behaviour is time-consuming, persistent and frequent and has no apparent function. These factors are gathered in a questionnaire to diagnose compulsive behaviours in dogs. | |
