The dog's tail has a unique purpose. Every time I see the dog waving its tail towards you, do you feel very happy? It is really a happy thing to be welcomed. But do you understand that the dog's tail actually has many other uses besides expressing happiness? Let’s learn together what information can the dog’s tail convey to us.
1. Express your own mentality
Most people think that a dog wags his tail to express that it is very happy, but it is not necessarily true. There are scientific research to express that when a dog's tail swings to the right, this generally expresses that it feels excited and happy, which is the opposite mentality. When the tail swings significantly to the left, it should have encountered something that it feels uncertain, and it is relatively unfriendly and has negative emotions. A dog's tail can express many mentalities, from being happy, anxious, excited, worried to being very worried.
2. Assist dogs to maintain stability
The dog's tail can have a balanced effect, making them more stable when bending and jumping. When a dog is swimming in the water or crossing more extreme places, its tail also has the effect of maintaining stability, and can avoid close obstacles to prevent being knocked down.
3. Assist dog society in developing interpersonal communication
Dogs use their eyes, ears, postures, etc. to transmit information to each other. When a dog is very confident, it will firmly lift its tail, causing the tail of the anal glands to disperse, spreading its own taste to the surroundings. But if the dog is very worried, it will hold its tail and not expose its own information too much.
4. It is used to prevent cold and keep warm
In fact, the dog's tail is also their special tool for preventing cold and keeping warm. When a dog wants to warm his body, it will fold the body into a ball and cover his face with its tail, just like people's scarves. For dogs who are afraid of cold, especially in winter, the tail is also its good anti-freeze assistant.
5. Data signal of illness
When the dog has larvae on its tail, the dog will feel itchy and will express its discomfort based on continuous biting of its tail. Finally, the saliva continues to soak the skin, causing germs and skin diseases. Therefore, cat slaves should pay attention to the dog's personal behavior of biting the tail, and see if there are small insects on its body. If there is any, remember to remove insects.
6. Broadening of the spine
The dog's tail is a broadening of the spine. It is composed of vertebrae like the spine. The bottom end is large and the top of the tail is smaller. The dog's tail will also have bone fractures. Depending on the part they are injured, it will go from mild to more serious, causing neurological injuries. Therefore, after the dog's tail is injured, it must be taken to see a doctor. Usually, dogs should be treated to supplement calcium and feed some calcium tablets for pregnant women.
