English term

fly-snapping

GBK English to Norwegian Medical Livestock / Animal Husbandry
Definition from Glossary of Veterinary Terms :
Repeated snapping at non-existent flying object has been associated in BMDs with partial seizures, in some cases with ear infections, and in a few cases with food allergies. Some forms may be alleviated by seizure medications. A few have been alleviated with behavioral modification techniques, which may indicate that some forms are simply behavioral problems often caused by boredom.
Example sentences:
