Episodes
138 To Avoid or not to Avoid – That is the Question!
138 To Avoid or not to Avoid – That is the Question! The avoidance of triggers and stimuli is such an important part of the treatment plan and falls into the Management "M" of the "7 Ms" Veterinary Behaviour Treatment Plan Template! However, it is also the part that gets possibly the most pushback from caregivers for a number of different reasons. In this episode, I chat through those reason
137 Interoception – The 8th Sense
Episode 137 – Interoception – The 8th Sense This episode was inspired by the 3rd Case Call of "The Behaviour Case Collective" Membership where Dr Amber Batson and I co-presented a case where gastro-intestinal health had a big impact on Behaviour.

134 Escitalopram
Episode 134 – Escitalopram Escitalopram is a really useful SSRI that is quite commonly prescribed by Veterinary Behaviour Specialists or veterinarians with a strong interest in Behaviour Medicine but is possibly sometimes overlooked by general practitioners.

128 Safety & Predictability, Control, Choice & Agency
Episode 128 – Safety & Predictability, Control, Choice & Agency The last 4 weeks of our lives here in Abu Dhabi have been interesting to say the least.

125 Behaviour and Thyroid Disease
Episode 125 – Behaviour and Thyroid Disease This is a big topic, and I really enjoyed diving into it. I think we can all agree that the outdated notion that low thyroid hormone levels in dogs directly causes aggression is exactly that – outdated. However, changes or dysregulation in thyroid hormone levels in both dogs and cats can still affect behaviour and this is what I chat about in this ep

120 Suspicion of Chronic Pain with Dr Hannah Capon
Episode 120 – Suspicion of Chronic Pain with Dr Hannah Capon One of the questions I get asked most frequently is how, if you are suspicious that your patient may be experiencing pain or discomfort, to relay this suspicion to the pet's GP vet or caregiver.

117 Melatonin
Episode 117 – Melatonin This was such an interesting episode to record and one that certainly left me with more questions than answers.

113 Equine Behaviour Medicine with Dr Gemma Pearson
Episode 113 – Equine Behaviour Medicine with Dr Gemma Pearson Wow, wow, wow, what a great episode and, obviously, a topic that, as an owner of 2 Sports Horses, is so very close to my heart.

This has allowed her to make an incredible difference in the equestria
112 Feline Human Directed Aggression
Episode 112 – Feline Human Directed Aggression Aggressive cats can be just as scary as aggressive dogs – to some people even more so as their body language may not be as easy to understand as that of dogs. Feline Human Directed Aggression can be difficult to pick apart and coming up with a diagnosis really requires a good understanding of feline behaviour. In this episode, I chat through my ma

106 Multi-Cat Households - Treating more than just the Patients
Episode 106 – Multi-Cat Households - Treating more than just the Patients Here in the UAE, I see many multi-cat households with behavioural presentations. These households can range from 2 to 32 (my biggest ever MCH!) cats and are hugely complex to understand, assess, evaluate and treat.

104 Why Behaviour and Pain are Intertwined
Episode 104 – Why Behaviour and Pain are Intertwined I had an incredible time at the WSAVA Congress in Rio and one of the things that I really took away as a musing from the Congress is the question as to whether or how we can differentiate pain from emotional states such as anxiety. We know that pain has an emotional component – often fear or anxiety – so do we therefore need to be more compreh

096 The Veterinary Behaviour First Aid Kit
Episode 96 – The Veterinary Behaviour First Aid Kit How many times does it happen that a patient presents with a Behavioural Presentation that you don't feel fully equipped to deal with? Or the client just happens to mention at the end of a consultation – as they're walking out of the door – that their cat has been urinating outside of the litter box or that their dog has been recently aggress
095 What's New in FIC in Cats

094 Client Education and Managing Expectations
Episode 94 – Client Education and Managing Expectations Wow, this turned into a bit of a philosophical episode… because these are topics I have been thinking about and contemplating a lot lately. What is it that actually creates a positive outcome in the Veterinary Behaviour Medicine World?

093 Side Effects from Psychotropic Medications
Episode 93 – Side Effects from Psychotropic Medications Side effects are something we ALL think about when prescribing any medication for our patients, not just psychopharmaceuticals. But for some reason, whether it's because these meds are still so unknown to many in the industry, or because of experiences we have heard from people – friends, family – who have been prescribed these medication
092 Pica and GI Disease in Dogs and Cats
Episode 92 – Pica and GI Disease in Dogs and Cats What a fascinating topic and one I've been thinking a lot about in recent weeks.

086 Behaviour Signs and Neurotransmitters
Episode 86 – Behaviour Signs and Neurotransmitters When I first started out in Veterinary Behaviour Medicine, knowing which Behaviour Medication to choose for any given patients was a real struggle.

082 How young is too young to start Behaviour Meds?
Episode 82 – How young is too young to start Behaviour Meds? "Oh, I'm sure they'll grow out of it…". A phrase that makes my heart sink when it comes to young dogs with obvious behavioural diagnoses. Now, what do I mean by "young"? We're talking about dogs somewhere between 6 and 12 months of age and yes, it is absolutely possible that these youngsters already have a behavioural diagnosis based
081 Janice and Robbie's Story

In this episode, I dispel the social myth that dogs MUST
