Male hormonal bird – Dr. Lamb Webinar 3/17

Could a problem occur if a male “rubs” himself a lot…on anything? Would a supplement to calm that urge help?

Hi Janene,

Here is Dr. Lamb’s response:

The issue that could happen with males rubbing themselves a lot is if they were to prolapse. I have known many males to do this behavior and not have a prolapse occur but that is the one risk you run. As far as a supplement to suppress this urge there isn’t really anything all that helpful. It often is better controlled or suppressed with starting behavior modification techniques that redirect their attention to other things. We do have some other webinars on that that could give you some ideas that you may want to consider trying.
