Snickers is acting, as I call it bi-polar. If she's not in my lap she's whining to get into my lap. She'll push against my hand if I'm not petting her and whining constantly. She dances in my lap and is constantly moving in circles if I put her down. This doesn't happen very often, but it's happening a lot lately. Should I be concerned.

Hello. Is the circling always in the same direction? Can you call her from the circling & stop the behavior? If not, this may be indicative of an inner ear infection, or more seriously, a brain lesion. You should have Snickers evaluated at your earliest convenience to diagnose the cause of this behavior. Once done, then the appropriate treatment can be initiated to help her to heal. Best to a speedy recovery & thanks for using PetCoach.
