My comments on Reader's Digest article "50 Secrets Your Vet Won't Tell You"
"Behavior issues are the number 1 cause of re-homing, euthanasia and death. Yet, because it's not medical, most of us don't learn much about that in veterinary school."
Training in behavior is better all the time. We have some wonderful vet behaviorists who are making tremendous inroads in helping all of us become better informed and better equipped to help with behavior issues. Life-long learning is part of the commitment we make when we become veterinarians- learning does not stop after vet school.
And I would argue that many behavior issues are medical, and that is even more incentive to keep up with the most recent information out there.
Enjoy your pets!
