Episode 104 – Why Behaviour and Pain are Intertwined

I had an incredible time at the WSAVA Congress in Rio and one of the things that I really took away as a musing from the Congress is the question as to whether or how we can differentiate pain from emotional states such as anxiety. We know that pain has an emotional component – often fear or anxiety – so do we therefore need to be more comprehensive in treating our painful patients by treating both pain and anxiety?

I’m not sure we have all the answers yet and we definitely don’t have any research looking at this, however, my suspicion is that we probably should be treating both!

In this episode I give you my 3 top explanations of why pain and emotional state are so interwoven and intertwined and how I think about treating my Behaviour Patients that are also in pain!

If you’d like to learn more about the medications that can treat both pain and emotional state, then have a look at my AMAZING PSYCHOACTIVE course:

Episode 103 – 15-minute Speed Coaching with Victoria Shepherd

Welcome to our brand-new episode format – 15-minute Speed Coaching Sessions for Veterinary- and Pet Care Professionals!

The rules of the game are as follows:

· Episodes will be in-the-moment, off-the-cuff and unscripted.

· Coaching sessions will be 15 Minutes MAXIMUM, so wherever we finish, we finish…

· Which means that we might not find complete resolution to your question, but we will certainly get the thought process started!

In this episode, I chat to holistic groomer and aspiring behaviourist (currently with a behaviour certification), Victoria Shepherd, who has questions around communicating the possibility that her patients may be in pain to both the caregiver and the caregiver’s vet.

As pet professionals who spend a lot of time with their patients and put their hands on them A LOT, groomers often recognize signs of pain or discomfort. And communicating that to the caregiver and the GP vet can be challenging.

I absolutely LOVED recording this episode and it ends with a bit of a cliff hanger… so tune in…

Episode 102 – Fluoxetine

Fluoxetine is a commonly prescribed Veterinary Psychopharmaceutical, so I thought we’d do a bit of a deep dive into fluoxetine and the things you, as professionals, need to know about this medication.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

· Indications for and uses of fluoxetine in Veterinary Medicine (and some super easy ways to remember them),

· Commonly seen side effects.

· How to change from fluoxetine to a different Psychopharmaceutical.

· Potential drug interactions.

This is a bit of a whistlestop tour into fluoxetine but if you’d like to dive even deeper, I’ve got you covered – My PSYCHOACTIVE course contains everything you need to know:

Episode 101 – Resilience in Dogs with Bobbie Bhambree

I absolutely loved this conversation with the wonderful Bobbie Bhambree, Dog Trainer and Behaviourist, about her game-changing work around Resilience and Resilience Conditioning in dogs.

Bobbie shares the story of how she and Veterinary Neuroscientist, Kathy Murphy, developed the Canine Resilience Rainbow, how it evolved and where it is now.

She also shares the individual elements oaf the resilience framework and how they fit into her everyday practice.

Bobbie shares some great case examples which show what a great difference resilience conditioning can make for our canine patients and has definitely inspired me to use this more in my own patients!

Episode 99 – Tanya and Bruno’s Story

This is one of my favourite patient- and client stories!

From the beautiful island of Samos in Greece to Yas Island in Abu Dhabi, Bruno has had a very varied and sometimes challenging life.

Tanya reached out to me when Bruno became increasingly sound sensitive after arriving in Abu Dhabi, to the point where he hid under a storage rack in the basement for 23 hours per day.

After seeing Tanya and Bruno for an emergency consultation, I designed a comprehensive treatment plan for Bruno which includes psychopharmaceutical medications and comprehensively addressing his musculo-skeletal pain, which may have been the cause for the sudden deterioration in his behaviour.

Listen as Tanya talks openly about how she and her husband navigated this journey and how Bruno is doing now!

What an incredible episode to take us into our re-brand and re-launch into The Veterinary Behaviour Chat Podcast !

Episode 97 – Risk Assessment

Comprehensively assessing the risk of a Behaviour Case can be one of the most important things to do when you are first presented with a patient.

Whether you’re a GP vet faced with a tricky situation, a Vet or Veterinary Nurse with an interest in Veterinary Behaviour Medicine, or a non-Veterinary Behaviour practitioner, it is always really good practice to perform a risk assessment and have an open conversation with the caregiver based on this risk assessment

In this episode, I tell you my top 3 risks to assess against and give you 4 specific things to evaluate when it comes to assessing risk.

Following these steps will give you so much more clarity when it comes to advising your clients on the risk – and safety aspects of their pet’s behaviour.

If you’re keen to understand more about Veterinary Psychopharmacology, then check out my PSYCHOACTIVE course, which will give you so much more knowledge and confidence to proceed:
