About this Webinar:

Behaviour cases can be complex and multifactorial. They almost always require a multi-modal approach with many puzzle pieces needing to come together to support both the patient and the caregiver to achieve successful outcomes.

In this webinar, you will learn how and where psychopharmaceuticals (Behaviour Medications) can fit into the Behaviour Treatment Plan, how they affect neurobiochemistry and how they can be used to safely and successfully to treat our patients. 

Although only veterinarians can prescribe these medications, having a good understanding of how they work, where they fit in and how they can support your patients, is an invaluable skill set for anyone working in the Animal Behaviour- and Pet Care spaces.


Learning Outcomes:

1. How to identify suitable candidates for Veterinary Behaviour Medications.

2. How behavioural signs correlate with neurotransmitter function.

3. The difference between long- and short acting medications and how this applies to their practical use.

4. Mechanisms of Action of some of the most commonly used Behaviour Medications.

5. The importance of integrating psychopharmaceuticals into a multi-modal treatment plan.
