Grief Doesn't Clock Out

Grief follows us everywhere — including to work. Concentration is harder. Patience runs shorter. Emotions sit closer to the surface. These are normal effects of loss, not character flaws.

How did grief affect your work performance or relationships — and what helped you manage?

A dog snaps at flies that aren't there. A cat licks one spot bald. A dog eats rocks, dirt, socks, anything but food.

We call these behavior problems. Sometimes they are. Most of the time there is something else driving the behavior as well.

In this Fear Free sponsored webinar, I'm walking you through how gastrointestinal, thyroid, and skin disease change behavior through the gut-brain axis, systemic inflammation, and constant itch. We'll cover the presentations that get mislabeled: aggression, excessive licking, pica, stargazing, fly-biting, house soiling, overgrooming.
You'll also leave with language for the client who is sure the behavior "isn't medical."

For veterinarians, trainers, and anyone working where medicine and behavior overlap.

September 3rd at 8 pm EST.

I love doing CPD and last night I thoroughly enjoyed Psychopharmacology -One Piece of the Treatment Puzzle with Dr Katrin Jahn of Trinity Veterinary Behaviour hosted by Brain and Behaviour Academy. As a Clinical Animal Behaviourist who does not prescribe ,
it is really important to me to understand Psychopharmacology and the role medications can play in supporting Animals as part of the broader picture. Having support from Veterinary Behaviourists can really benefit the Animals we work with .

This was such an incredible deep dive not different medications , the role they play and all the factors that need to be considered .
