The METAL Animal

Personality types are described by the Five Element Theory and can provide additional  insight into the health and well-being of my animal patients.  Today I will describe the personality of a METAL type individual.

dislikes touch
ignores owner when punished
easily offended
prone to dry skin
unemotional
stoic
impersonal
reliable
restrained in actions
prone to having constipation

A pet who has a Metal personality will have illness most often reflected in the lung and large intestine when they are imbalanced.  Dry weather, the Fall season and the emotion of grief can worsen clinical symptoms.  They will be prone to respiratory allergies, frequent colds/coughs, and shortness of breath.  They tend to be sensitive to dry wind and cold weather and stiff joints and muscles can become a problem.  Dry skin, skin rashes, and constipation are additional clinical symptoms that often arise in an imbalanced Metal personality animal.
