Pets can be real characters. They all have their little
oddities about them that most of the time we write off as just funny or absurd.
But there is a common oddity which many animals do that is actually a sign of a
larger problem. It’s called “head pressing” and it is where an animal goes up
to a wall and presses their head against it because they are trying to
alleviate a pain they can’t see to reach.
Head pressing is common among animals trying to seek relief.

While this may look cute or odd, it’s really a serious
problem.

Cancer, diseases, and certain poisons may cause an animal to
engage in head pressing.

Immediate medical attention is necessary. Act fast to ensure
the health and safety of your pet when you see it doing a head press.
