      That’s a tough question, I didn’t know off the top of my head but I’ve had a look and a bit of a read

      OCD, obsessive compulsive disorder is something that dogs, cats and horses (and probably more animals can get). This often won’t be quite the same as in humans. A human might express OCD in quite complex behaviours like the obsessive sorting and ordering of things around them but for animals it seems to be more doing something repetitively and getting stressed or upset when they can’t
