Course Focus and Learning Objectives
VetCE on Demand: A New Way to See an Old Disease - Updates on Canine and Feline Osteoarthritis utilizes the archive of a live presentation under the same name. A significant proportion of pets referred to veterinary behavior practices have an underlying physical disease either causing or contributing to their clinical signs. In most cases, once those physical illnesses are treated the behavior concerns resolve or improve significantly. Recognizing red flags for physical disease in the behavior history, and developing a complete differential diagnosis list, allows veterinarians to arrive at the correct diagnosis and implement the most appropriate treatment. At the end of the course participants should be able to: describe the typical pattern of behaviors explain how to efficiently take a behavior history list behavioral clinical signs of common somatic diseases identify behavior signs of chronic pain discuss the evidence-based pain assessment tools available for dogs and cats
