| 英文描述 | About 8% of horses exhibit repetitive actions that are considered abnormal or undesirable; these are known as sterotypic behavior problems or 'stable vices'. Such behaviors include crib biting (cribbing), wind sucking, weaving, fence or stall walking, circling, pacing, head twisting, tongue flicking, tongue curling, teeth grinding, heel tapping, stall kicking, rein snatching, rug tearing, self mutilation, and tongue protrusion. Consumption of substances such as dirt or stones is occasionally blamed on boredom in horses. Dx by ruling out neurologic disease or other causes. |
