We argue that there is currently an under-reporting of the ways in which pain can be associated with problem behavior, seriously limiting recognition this welfare problem. A review caseloads 100 recent dog cases several authors indicates a conservative estimate around third referred involve some form painful condition, and instances, figure may nearly 80%. The relationship often complex but always logical. Musculoskeletal also gastro-intestinal dermatological conditions are commonly...
Noise sensitivity is a common behaviour problem in dogs. In humans there well-established relationship between painful conditions and the development of fear-related avoidance responses. Whilst it likely that exists noise pain dogs, this does not appear to have been investigated. The aim study was explore signs dogs with without musculoskeletal by comparing case histories using qualitative content analysis. Data were extracted from clinical records 20 cases presenting seen animal...
Psychometric tools have been developed for the assessment of behavioral and affective traits in non-human animals. Frustration can be defined as an emotional reaction experienced after a given expectation is violated. negative state whilst it probably plays key role certain behavior problems dogs (e.g., aggressive behaviors), there appears to little attempt scale this tendency. Therefore, aim current study was develop tool assess frustration tendencies dogs.
Urinary house soiling (periuria) in the home is a common but serious behaviour problem cats. Although many specific risk factors and triggers have been postulated, their importance largely unknown. This study assessed: (1) significance of purported for periuria as well specifically marking latrine home; (2) specificity sensitivity signs commonly used to differentiate behaviour. Owner responses an internet survey (n = 245) were classified into three groups: control, behaviour, along with 41...
Fear and anxiety based problems are common in dogs. Alongside behaviour modification programmes, a range of psychopharmacological agents may be recommended to treat such problems, but few licensed for use dogs the onset action some can delayed. The low affinity partial benzodiazepine receptor agonist imepitoin (Pexion™, Boehringer Ingelheim) is treating canine epilepsy, has fast demonstrated anxiolytic properties rodent models. This case series reports on group identified as having...
Frustration is a negative emotional state implicated in range of canine behaviour problems. The Canine Questionnaire (CFQ) the first psychometric tool developed to assess frustration tendencies dogs based on owner report. However, date, no published studies have assessed behavioural and physiological correlates this trait. A novel test battery was induce dogs, mapping onto CFQ. Forty-four were recruited filmed whilst undertaking battery, CFQ completed by each owner. Targeted measures from...
Canine cognitive dysfunction syndrome (CCDS) is a progressive age-related neurodegenerative disorder in dogs. Minimal research has been performed to investigate how clinical signs may be impacted by other medical conditions. A cross-sectional study was using the Cognitive Assessment Scale (CCAS) evaluate impairment as reported owners. Owner-reported health-related measures included behaviour changes, body condition score, and veterinary diagnoses of disease. The responses from 804 dogs last...
Problem behaviours in cats, such as urine marking, scratching, fear, and problems of cohabitation between can present a potential welfare problem for those affected cats have negative impact on the human-animal bond. The aim this study was to develop Cat Behaviour Issues Assessment Scale (CABIAS) caregivers assess these common investigate aspects validity reliability CABIAS. CABIAS uses an index score scoring system combining frequency intensity behaviour. An electronic survey developed, 384...
Anxiety in dogs, especially relation to certain noises, is a common issue which can lead clinically significant problems like noise phobias. While several scales have been used assess sound sensitivity and reactivity, clinical monitoring has tended depend on unvalidated methods, general assessment and/or historical comparison with owners' recall of previous episodes. Therefore we aimed develop validate scale canine anxiety. Materials Methods: We the data from 226 dogs previously reported...
This is the first report of aggressive behaviour as primary presenting sign in two dogs subsequently found to have chronic diskospondylitis, with neither dog showing other typical clinical signs this condition. Mild pain were elicited on physical examination both dogs. Further medical investigation revealed indicative diskospondylitis (L7/S1) and treatment analgesics antibiotics was commenced. A marked improvement seen when treatment. Dog 1 stopped exhibiting unpredictable episodes growling...
Adherence to the advice of medical practitioners is critical successful treatment outcomes and has been much researched in human health, but less well studied veterinary clinical animal behavior fields. Given that management problems often requires substantial change established client behavior, it likely adherence a substantive issue affecting success. However, little known about relationships between relevant factors, there no way assessing these. Therefore, aim this study was develop an...
This comprehensive guide delves into the phenomenon of noise-related fear in dogs, a prevalent issue with significant impact on canine wellbeing. The article explores intricate relationship between dog's emotional response to noise and its behavioural expressions, highlighting complexity fear, clinical manifestations therapeutic approaches. It emphasises importance differentiating from anxiety phobias, as they exhibit distinct characteristics that necessitate separate consideration both...
Abstract This is the first documented case of scent triggering episodes feline hyperaesthesia syndrome (FHS). A 1‐year and 5‐month‐old cat was referred to clinic with a 5‐month history generalised twitching dorsum, vocalising, compulsive grooming darting/running episodes. diagnosis FHS made following exclusion other differential diagnoses. The had co‐morbid behaviour problems clinic. Triggers for were explored: most unpredictable without consistent trigger; diagnosed attention seeking...
Background : The management of cats with urethral obstruction does not end in the clinic. Unless underlying cause is addressed, this problem likely to recur and requires a multimodal approach that includes behavioural assessment evaluation cat's home environment. Aim article This final three‐part series on cats. focuses prevent recurrent obstruction, addressing feline idiopathic cystitis. first discussed presentation stabilisation, while second summarised catheterisation immediate...
