Because diarrhea in itself has the
potential to be life threatening, any dog suffering from more than a short - term bout
of diarrhea, or dogs showing
signs of other medical
problems, should immediately be seen by a veterinarian.
They are looking for evidence
of any health
problems, such as high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol levels, glucose levels, and
other medical conditions that could be warning
signs of other potential health issues.
Two studies have identified groups
of girls exhibiting chronically high levels
of antisocial behavior across childhood and early adolescence and having an increased risk for continued antisocial behavior.60 In addition, Odgers and several colleagues found that 7.5 percent
of all girls between the ages
of seven and fifteen displayed an early - onset
of offending that persisted into adolescence and that this pattern was similar to boys
of the same age.61
Other studies suggest that although strongly aggressive behavior in girls before the age
of seven is rare, continuity
of offending for such girls may be stronger than that among comparable boys and that such early
problem behavior in girls should be considered a significant warning
sign of potential future
problems.62
