This extensively updated edition provides practitioners with practical, clinically relevant strategies for addressing the full spectrum of behavioral issues encountered in small animal practice, from common problems like separation anxiety and aggression to complex behavioral pathologies requiring specialized intervention. Written by leading experts in veterinary behavioral medicine, this authoritative text bridges the gap between theoretical behavioral science and real-world clinical application. This fourth edition reflects the latest advances in psychopharmacology, behavioral modification techniques, and our understanding of the neurobiological basis of behavior disorders. The text offers detailed protocols for behavioral assessment, differential diagnosis, and treatment planning, incorporating both pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical interventions. Each chapter provides step-by-step guidance on client communication, case management, and long-term follow-up care, ensuring veterinarians can confidently address behavioral concerns that significantly impact the human-animal bond and animal welfare. With its problem-oriented approach and emphasis on practical solutions, this essential reference empowers veterinary professionals to expand their behavioral medicine services, improve treatment outcomes, and enhance quality of life for both patients and their owners.
