Are there animals that get Tourette's syndrome, or is it only found in peopl!


Question: Several animals get a similar disorder although it normally goes undiagnosed or is misdiagnosed. I actually had a black lab that had tourette's syndrome. She would literally ram herself into the side of the house for no reason, would bark spastically at nothing, would throw herself on the ground repeatedly (they weren't seizures), just to name a few of her symptoms. A vet finally diagnosed her when this behavior was observed and no level of training or treatment could cure her. I hope this answers your question.
