Unusual Animal Temperaments and Behaviours
How do I recognise signs of stress or illness in animals?
Animals exhibit many different types of behaviours, quite often these will be normal for that particular species or individual animal. However, the sudden onset of certain behaviours can indicate an underlying issue that may need to be treated. Remember animals may not behave in an unwell manner unless very sick, so subtle changes must be noted. This is due to a 'preservation instinct' to protect themselves. Ensure any unusual observations and followed up.
