Handbook of Behavior Problems of the Dog and Cat

Lowell J. Ackerman

0/5 ( ratings)

This book is designed to provide busy veterinarians in general practice with the tools to help owners concerned about their pets' behavior. Most importantly, it helps veterinarians incorporate behavior consultation into their practices in a meaningful way and to utilize hospital paraprofessional staff to their optimum. Not only does the book introduce topics such as learning theory and behavior modification techniques, but it also covers diagnostic and therapeutic options for the successful management of behavior problems. In this edition, neuro-pharmacology and psychoactive drug activity is addressed and important training techniques, nutritional interventions and alternative forms of therapy are examined. The importance of medical problems and aging in the development of behavior problems is well described and case examples illustrating real-life clinical situations are included for each behavior problem.The new edition also includes a number of forms and handouts which the authors use in their consultations with clients. These forms and handouts, as well as the drug dosing table and fully updated resource list, have been reproduced on the accompanying CD so that they can be printed off for use in the busy practice. In this edition, Dr. Patrick Pageat also reviews the French approach to veterinary behavioral diagnostics and therapy.
