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 aggressive to a family member.

What on earth should you and can you do in these situations?

 

This is where having a bit of a "Veterinary Behaviour First Aid" plan can be really useful, especially after performing a risk assessment, which we'll talk about in next week's episode, so make sure to tune in!

 

In this episode, I give you a list of 4 things you can do to provide immediate Behavioural First Aid to keep everyone safe and improve your patient's behavioural health until you can either see them for a more in-depth Behaviour Consultation or arrange referral to a Veterinary Behavioursist!

 

If you're not quite sure which short acting psychopharmaceutical might be a good option for your patient, check out my PSYCHOACTIVE course, which will give you so much more knowledge and confidence on which medication to choose:
