Ok, /an/. I have an australian shepherd that's about 12 years old. When I scratch her anywhere on her body aside from her head, she'll frantically thumps her leg down onto the floor. If you scratch her hard enough, she'll begin to wave all of her legs, as if she's swimming in invisible water.

Can you explain this?

Well I've stopped scratching her in that manner because when I do so she gets a very odd look on her face, as if she's either in great pain or great relaxation.

They're enjoying it, that's all.

Dog's don't have fingers to scratch themselves in the way we are able to do. It's an alien feeling, but a good feeling. They react funny cause it's different.

Yeah, my niece started "petting" my canine once. He became greatly agitated, started moving one leg erratically in the air and attempting to touch her hand with its tongue. I assumed this was some kind of seizure so I sprayed water on her and forbid her from visiting the dog again.

Ok, /an/. I have a rottie who's about 12 years old. When I touch his penis, he'll frantically thrust his hips against the floor. If you lick him hard enough, he'll begin to ejaculate.

Can you explain this?

If the leg jerk is only with the hind legs and only when scratched on the belly then it is totally natural and just a reflex.

On the other hand, if she is moving all four legs and does it when scratched anywhere then she may have tricaiolypic dichorthamin which is a nervous disorder that causes body spasms when the skin is agitated. If she has the disorder then sadly she will gradually get worse and worse until even simply moving about will cause the spastic movements.

Because its a neurological disorder we don't yet have a lab test for it. Most vets test by inserting a warm object into the dogs anus. A dog with the disorder will not become agitated like a normal dog, but will exhibit the trademark kicking (swimming) motion you describe. Since most dog owners don't have a canine enema kit at home, you can insert your little finger, but use plenty of petroleum jelly lubricant.

why do cats lick the air when you scratch right above their tale on their backs?
