Behavior Services

 

The behavior clinic's mission is to diagnose and treat common behavioral problems in companion animals. These would include:

  • Aggression/Anxiety Disorders
  • Elimination Disorders
  • Phobias and Fears
  • Sterotypic/Compulsive Behaviors

Diagnosis is based on:

  • History/Interview
  • Physical Examination
  • Laboratory Evaluation

A behavior questionnaire is sent to the pet owner (or downloaded from this site) and a veterinary history form forwarded to the veterinarian. These are then returned to our hospital for evaluation prior to the scheduled consult (the owner can contact us at any stage to schedule the appointment).

The initial consult can last from 1-2 hours. Follow ups are typically 1 hour in duration.


Therapy of behavior disorders can be complex and time consuming for the owners and the patient, so a commitment to the pet is essential to increase the likelihood of success.


Fees:
Initial Consultation Fee: $540 and includes the consult,a written report, 6 months of telephone follow up, a follow up visit within 3 months (no additional charge) of the initial consultation and reporting to your veterinarian.

Charges for Lab Work, Behavior Equipment and Medication (if needed) are additional

If medication is dispensed, a 6 month follow-up consultation (see below for fees) is required for continued case evaluation and refilling of medication.


Follow-Up Consultation Fee: $220 and includes 1 hour consultation, written report, 6 months of telephone follow up and reporting to your veterinarian.

Animal News

animal behavior news from mongabay.com
  • Forgotten species: the wild jungle cattle called banteng
    The word "cattle," for most of us, is the antithesis of exotic; it's familiar like a family member one's happy enough to ignore, but doesn't really mind having around. Think for a moment of the names: cattle, cow, bovine...likely they make many of us think more of the animals' byproducts than the creatures themselves—i.e. milk, butter, ice cream or steak—as if they were an automated food factory and not living beings. But if we expand our minds a bit further, "cattle" may bring up thoughts of cowboys, Texas, herds pounding the dust, or merely grazing dully in the pasture. But none of these titles, no matter how far we pursue them, conjure up images of steamy tropical rainforest or gravely imperiled species. A cow may be beautiful in its own domesticated sort-of-way, but there is nothing wild in it, nothing enchanting. However like most generalizations, this idea of cattle falls to pieces when one encounters, whether in literature or life, the banteng.
  • Saving the world's biggest river otter
    Charismatic, vocal, unpredictable, domestic, and playful are all adjectives that aptly describe the giant river otter (Pteronura brasiliensis), one of the Amazon's most spectacular big mammals. As its name suggest, this otter is the longest member of the weasel family: from tip of the nose to tail's end the otter can measure 6 feet (1.8 meters) long. Living in closely-knit family groups, sporting a complex range of behavior, and displaying almost human-like capricious moods, the giant river otter has captured a number of researchers and conservationists' hearts, including Dutch conservationist Jessica Groenendijk.
  • Frog perfume? Madagascar frogs communicate via airborne pheromones
    Researchers have found that some frogs in Madagascar communicate by more than just sound and sight: they create distinct airborne pheromones, which are secreted chemicals used for communicating with others. A paper published in Angewandte Chemie International Edition relates that some male members of the Mantellinae family in Madagascar use large glands on their inner thighs to produce airborne pheromones. Interestingly, the pheromones are structurally similar to those produced by insects. Scientists have identified frogs producing water-borne pheromones before, but this is the first instance of airborne.
  • Economic slowdown leads to the pulping of Latvia's forests
    The economic crisis has pushed many nations to scramble for revenue and jobs in tight times, and the small Eastern European nation of Latvia is no different. Facing tough circumstances, the country turned to its most important and abundant natural resource: forests. The Latvian government accepted a new plan for the nation's forests, which has resulted in logging at rates many scientists say are clearly unsustainable. In addition, researchers contend that the on-the-ground practices of state-owned timber giant, Latvijas Valsts meži (LVM), are hurting wildlife and destroying rare ecosystems.
  • Seals, birds, and alpine plants suffer under climate change
    The number of species identified by scientists as vulnerable to climate change continues to rise along with the Earth's temperature. Recent studies have found that a warmer world is leading to premature deaths of harp seal pups (Pagophilus groenlandicus) in the Arctic, a decline of some duck species in Canada, shrinking alpine meadows in Europe, and indirect pressure on mountain songbirds and plants in the U.S. Scientists have long known that climate change will upend ecosystems worldwide, creating climate winners and losers, and likely leading to waves of extinction. While the impacts of climate change on polar bears and coral reefs have been well-documented, every year scientists add new species to the list of those already threatened by anthropogenic climate change.
  • Animal picture of the day: dueling green iguanas
    Found throughout Central and South America and parts of the Caribbean, the green iguana (Iguana iguana) is a large, mostly herbivorous lizard.
