This comprehensive guide to the diagnosis and treatment of dog and cat behavior problems details a new scientific approach which was first developed in the United States almost thirty years ago and is now being practiced by veterinarians and other pet behavior problem specialists in many countries throughout the world. The current scientific understanding of each behavioral problem is reviewed before specific advice is offered on differential diagnosis, possible causal factors and the most effective behavioral and pharmacological treatments available. Annotated diagrams are provided for each of the major behavior problems, summarizing key points, so that information can be obtained both quickly and easily when needed. Written by an acknowledged expert on animal behavior, and describing the common dog and cat problems encountered by veterinarians, this book will prove an essential resource for all small animal practices as well as a readily understandable introduction to the pet behavior problem field for interested pet owners, breeders, animal shelter personnel, dog trainers etc. This second edition of Treatment of Behavior Problems in Dogs and Cats* Offers clear specific recommendations for each major behavior problem* Provides advice on consultation procedures and the many variables that can affect animal behavior and compliance with treatment regimes* Includes samples of case report forms, information questionnaires for owners, and follow-up questionnaires to assess progress* Provides up-to-date information on key advances in treatment that have been made in the field since the publication of the first edition* Includes an extensive new chapter on drug therapy, written in collaboration with Dr. Karin Kohlke DVM, one of Germany's leading veterinary behavior specialists, which provides detailed indication, side effect and dosage-related information on today's most commonly recommended psychoactive drugs and the guidelines to be considered when deciding whether or not to prescribe them
