Description

A significant proportion of cases referred to behavioural practitioners are affected by underlying medical issues. The most common of these is pain or discomfort, often related to musculoskeletal, gastrointestinal or dermatological conditions. This webinar uses cases to illustrate key factors for practitioners to recognise to enable them to work more effectively with clinical animal behaviourists in these more complex cases.

  • Identifying whether pain is an underlying factor
  • Working with anxious and fearful patients who are experiencing pain
