Masturbation is a normal behavior of both male and female, neutered, and sexually intact animals. It becomes pathological when the behavior is performed to the exclusion of other normal behaviors, such as eating, drinking, and environmental investigation. Frequent masturbation can also lead to an increased incidence of infection or trauma to the prepuce, penis, or vulva.
