| Format | PDF E-Book File Size: Varies Category: Veterinary Behavioural Medicine Specialty: Small Animal Behaviour and Clinical Psychology DESCRIPTION ----------- Companion Animal Behaviour Problems is an essential clinical resource that provides veterinary professionals with comprehensive, evidence-based guidance on diagnosing, managing, and treating behavioural disorders in dogs and cats. This authoritative text bridges the gap between veterinary medicine and animal behaviour science, offering practical solutions to the most common and challenging behavioural issues encountered in companion animal practice. With behavioural problems being one of the leading causes of pet relinquishment and euthanasia, this resource equips practitioners with the knowledge and tools necessary to address these critical welfare concerns effectively. The book systematically explores the underlying causes of problem behaviours, including medical conditions, environmental factors, learning history, and genetic predispositions. It presents a structured approach to behavioural case management, from initial consultation and differential diagnosis through to treatment planning and long-term follow-up. Each behavioural condition is examined in detail, with clear explanations of pathophysiology, clinical presentation, and evidence-based intervention strategies incorporating behaviour modification techniques, environmental management, and pharmacological support when appropriate. This comprehensive guide emphasizes the veterinarian's crucial role in early identification and prevention of behavioural problems, while also addressing complex cases that require referral to veterinary behaviourists. The text integrates current research findings with practical clinical experience, making it an invaluable resource for improving patient outcomes, strengthening the human-animal bond, and enhancing the overall quality of veterinary care provided to companion animals and their owners.
