Glossary of Veterinary Terms :
Repeated snapping at non-existent flying object has been associated in BMDs with partial seizures, in some cases with ear infections, and in a few cases with food allergies. Some forms may be alleviated by seizure medications. A few have been alleviated with behavioral modification techniques, which may indicate that some forms are simply behavioral problems often caused by boredom.
Example sentences:
Dogs display many different kinds of compulsions, such as spinning, pacing, tail chasing, fly snapping, barking, shadow or light chasing, excessive licking and toy fixation. (ASPCA)

Conducta de caçar mosques
Definition from
Diccionari de Veterinària i Ramaderia:
Estereotípia que consisteix en fixar l'atenció, un animal, en un objecte inexistent i, a continuació, llançar-s'hi al damunt com si volgués mossegar-lo.
Example sentences:
Quan la Gertrudis embogí i començà a caçar mosques inexistents i a proferir alarits esgarrifosos a qualsevol hora, a en Frederic no va costar-li gens ni mica que la ingressessin en un psiquiàtric. (La boia de Port Pelegrí)
Converses amb el teu germà i descobreixes la seva fúria, parles amb el mestre i et enreda despietadament. La teva dona elucubrant la seva bogeria estranya, el teu gos, caçant mosques. (El pueblo de tierra)
Cada dia el trec a passejar i no para de jugar. Si li dones un frankfurt o un tall de pernil dolç, salta. Es deixa fer de tot i sempre està caçant mosques. (El Murri)

Quite obvious. I don't understand what happened. I must have got the two questions mixed up when I received them (which means I entered the Spanish answer in the Catalan question? Did I answer it at all? :-(
