Behavioral or Medical: Are They One and the Same? with Dr Christine Calder
Webinar Description
Behavioral and medical conditions in pets often overlap, making it difficult to identify the root cause of certain behaviors. This session will explore the connection between medical issues and behavioral problems in dogs and cats, highlighting how they often coexist. Common medical conditions that present as behavioral challenges, such as aggression, anxiety, separation issues, and house-soiling, will be discussed, along with the impact of pain on behavior and the importance of considering underlying medical issues when addressing these behavioral concerns.
