Orthopedics and Dog Behavioral Disorders - When Does Pain Change Behavior?

WEBINAR (2/13)

Presenter: DVM, PhD Martyna Woszczyło 
Duration: 45 minutes

We invite you to participate in a new, comprehensive training series dedicated to clinical behavioral medicine. The program has been created for veterinarians who want to better understand the relationship between a patient's behavior and their health status.

This is a practical training series that will help answer one of the key questions in daily clinical practice:
is the observed problem behavioral in nature, or does its source lie in a somatic disease?

During the webinar, we will cover:

– Classic and subtle behavioral signs of pain

– Situations where aggression, fear, avoidance, or "disobedience" may stem from pain

– The impact of joint diseases, spinal conditions, and old injuries on a dog's daily behavior

– Interpretive pitfalls

– Basics of behavioral and orthopedic history taking

– When to refer a dog for further diagnostics

– How to adapt training, environment, and expectations for a dog in pain

Additionally: discussion of clinical cases

Additional information about the webinar

The webinar is intended exclusively for veterinarians.

Orthopedic problems can manifest primarily through behavioral changes.

During the webinar, we will discuss when a "behavioral problem" might be a sign of pain or mobility limitations, how to recognize subtle signs of discomfort, and how to combine a behavioral perspective with orthopedic diagnostics.

This is the second webinar in the "Behavioral Medicine in a Nutshell" series.
