By Debra F. Horwitz, Daniel S. Mills
2nd Edition
The importance of animal behavior and psychological well-being is
increasingly being recognized in the veterinary profession. This new
edition is designed to be even more practical and user-friendly than the
first. For a range of behavioral presentations, consideration is given
to evaluation of the patient, including any possible underlying disease;
evaluation of client attitudes, beliefs and behavior; risk evaluation;
behavioral biology of the condition; acute management protocols;
long-term treatment strategies; prognosis; follow-up; and preventive
measures. A special chapter on shelter animals has been added, as this
is an area where veterinary support is increasingly sought in both
health and husbandry.
An included CD offers client
handouts, history-taking forms, detailed behavioral questionaires for
each species and a referral form.
