Webinar – 10/14/21 – Psychopharmacology: Prescribing for Canine and Feline Patients – ACVB (fee applies)

October 14, 2021 @ 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM PDT

$40

Many indications for psychotropic medications exist, including generalized anxiety, separation anxiety, panic disorders, persistent phobias, compulsive disorders and more. Daily drugs are given as such – every day, regardless of events, season, or stress level. Patients on daily psychotropic medications may still be in need of additional help to alleviate panic, fear and/or anxiety during predictable, situational events, as the daily medications may not be enough to control intense spike in stress levels. Other patients who display distress only as a result of known, predictable triggers, such as fireworks, car travel or thunderstorms, may benefit from an event medication alone. This lecture will give an overview of the main classes of drugs used for daily and as needed treatment of emotional disorders in dogs and cats – how they work, what the therapeutic expectations are for each, and what side effects may be expected. Drug interactions, adverse effects, and weaning protocols will also be discussed.

Dr. Meghan Herron is the Senior Director of Behavioral Medicine Research, Education, and Outreach at Gigi’s – A Shelter Organization dedicated to improving the lives of shelter dogs.
