>From what I have learned, tail chasing and growling , is either a food allergy, or worms. Their are worms that you cannot see in the poop, so you would need to drop off a sample to the Vet. Or if you don't want to pay for a checkup (Which all the Vets want), then try Petco when they have the clinic around. They will give you a kit and envelope and you add a fresh sample and mail it out. I think I only paid $12.00 and it does take 2 weeks to get the results back.

He does not have fleas, and his skin is not red or flaky. today he is not scratching... yesterday he was. a couple times a week, he will start licking his bottom area, then it turns into a all out war! He growls, bites at his bottom and then bites his tail all the while growling, sounding angry. sometimes he just gets to going in a fast circle chasing his tail (i guess that is what he is chasing) growling... then gets dizzy... and quits. I try to distract him when he does this, but he always seems to be in a trans... like he hears nothing. He will sometimes also chew on his back thigh.. growling. Most of the time now I just walk away and he seems to quit sooner. anyone have this problem, or maybe an opinion? His food is Petfresh select, but my hubby does feed him meat that we have for dinner. my hubby is Indian... so the meat is a bit spiced, but no matter what I say, my hubby feeds it to him anyway. and of course Ricky loves it!!!
