2021-10-13 17:00 - 18:00 | Virtual
As clinicians, we often see behavior issues in our patients. Sometimes clients come to us for advice, sometimes the client is not as aware of the issue as they should be. During this behavior webinar we will explore the process of diagnosing common behavior problems in dogs and cats and outline the steps needed when creating and implementing a behavior plan. We will discuss the difference between a primary behavioral problem and a training issue and which cases we should handle and which we should refer to a behaviorist.
Other topics Dr. Calder will discuss during this presentation include:

The various behavioral tools available to facilitate management
How to identify appropriate trainers and other certified professionals to aid in the treatment of behavior problems
Behavioral euthanasia and how to develop a prognosis

We hope you’ll join us for this important welfare-focused webinar.

Webinar - 10/14/21 - Medical Vs. Behavioral: How Do We Tell The Difference? - Jennifer Summerfield, DVM - FDSA (fee applies)
2021-10-14 15:00 - 16:00 | Virtual
We all know that medical issues can influence behavior. Dogs who don’t feel well can be cranky, or more anxious than normal – just like humans! But what about less obvious “red flags” for a physical problem that you might not be aware of?
In this webinar, we’ll talk about the following:

What a routine veterinary visit can tell us… and what it can’t!
How pain, GI discomfort, and hormonal issues can impact aggression and anxiety
Determining if abnormal repetitive behaviors are compulsive or neurologic
Behavioral side effects of common medications

I’ll also give some practical suggestions for talking to your veterinarian about these issues, as well as possible diagnostic and treatment options to consider if you think something might be wrong.
Fee: $19.95 – Registration required PRIOR to scheduled presentation time.
Please note: This webinar is back by popular demand; please check your webinar library before purchasing.

Webinar - 10/14/21 - Psychopharmacology: Prescribing for Canine and Feline Patients - ACVB (fee applies)
2021-10-14 16:00 - 17:00 | Virtual
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. Prior to her current position, she spent over a decade as head of the Behavioral Medicine Service at The Ohio State University. She graduated from The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine and became board-certified as diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Behaviorists after completing a residency at the University of Pennsylvania.
