Written by leading experts in veterinary behavioral medicine, this extensively updated textbook provides evidence-based insights into normal and abnormal behaviors across all major domestic species, including dogs, cats, horses, cattle, swine, sheep, goats, and poultry. The text bridges the critical gap between theoretical behavioral science and practical clinical application, equipping veterinary professionals with the knowledge to diagnose behavioral disorders, implement effective treatment protocols, and provide sound behavioral counseling to animal owners. The seventh edition incorporates the latest research in animal cognition, neurobiology of behavior, psychopharmacology, and welfare assessment methodologies. Each species-specific chapter examines developmental behavior, social structures, communication systems, reproductive behaviors, and common behavioral problems encountered in clinical settings. The book emphasizes the One Welfare concept, exploring the interconnections between animal behavior, animal welfare, human wellbeing, and environmental sustainability. This essential resource provides practical guidance on behavioral history-taking, diagnostic approaches to behavior problems, environmental modification strategies, behavior modification techniques, and appropriate use of psychotropic medications. With detailed case studies, diagnostic algorithms, and treatment protocols, this textbook prepares veterinarians and animal scientists to address the growing demand for behavioral expertise in modern veterinary medicine and animal management systems.
