As our understanding of animal behavior and welfare continues to evolve, the field of veterinary science is playing an increasingly important role in promoting the health and well-being of animals. From diagnosing and treating behavioral disorders to developing innovative solutions for improving animal care, veterinarians and animal behaviorists are working together to advance our knowledge of animal behavior and improve the lives of animals.
This is not a lack of training. Functional MRI studies of SA dogs show hyperactivation in the amygdala (fear center) and hypoactivation in the prefrontal cortex (impulse control) when left alone. These animals are having a panic attack, not acting out. The treatment protocol is now dual-pronged: behavioral desensitization plus a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) like fluoxetine or clomipramine.
