For example, thunder is accompanied
by changes in barometric pressure, lightning and rain, and your dog's fearful response may be to the combination of these things and not just the thunder.
A scientific review of delivery data and local barometric pressure found that
sudden changes in barometric pressure increased the chances of rupture of the fetal membrane and the start of the delivery process.
What I'm learning this year is that sometimes the season in life doesn't quite line up with the season in the air, that seasons can arrive before we're ready — carried as if by a sudden storm,
a change in barometric pressure, a surprise frost.
Some migraine sufferers are able to identify dietary or environmental factors that trigger an attack, such as sensitivity to dietary histamines, sulfates or sulfites, monosodium glutamate (MSG), other additives and preservatives, or
changes in barometric pressure.
Changes in barometric pressure and humidity can affect your dog's senses and possibly even cause discomfort in the ears.
Dogs can be very sensitive to
changes in barometric pressure that occur before a storm, but it's also possible that some dogs — especially long - coated breeds — become statically charged during a thunderstorm, receiving electric shocks from static in the air unless they «ground» themselves.
Many theorize that it's the static electricity and
changes in barometric pressure that disturbs some dogs, which explains why they might get upset before the storm actually starts, or why they might head for the bathtub.
This is all complicated by the fact that dogs can sense
the change in barometric pressure that proceeds the storm.
