2025/08/11

Episode 95 – What’s New in FIC in Cats Feline Idiopathic Cystitis is such a fascinating disease from a Veterinary Behaviour Medicine perspective as it poses the perfect intersection between physical and behavioural health. It is a diagnosis of exclusion, is mainly seen in younger cats under 10 years of age (2-7 years is most common), and can be triggered or exacerbated by stressful events. Often referred to as “bladder migraine”, this inflammatory psychoneuroendocrine disease can be very

Episode 94 – Client Education and Managing Expectations Wow, this turned into a bit of a philosophical episode… because these are topics I have been thinking about and contemplating a lot lately. What is it that actually creates a positive outcome in the Veterinary Behaviour Medicine World? Of course, behaviour change in the patient is an important part, but what about a shift in the expectations, beliefs and understanding of the caregiver? How important is this in creating a successful outcome

093 Side Effects from Psychotropic Medications

2025/07/28

Episode 93 – Side Effects from Psychotropic Medications Side effects are something we ALL think about when prescribing any medication for our patients, not just psychopharmaceuticals. But for some reason, whether it’s because these meds are still so unknown to many in the industry, or because of experiences we have heard from people – friends, family – who have been prescribed these medications, conversations around side effects from psychotropics seem more difficult to navigate.

Episode 92 – Pica and GI Disease in Dogs and Cats What a fascinating topic and one I’ve been thinking a lot about in recent weeks. We have seen a spike in foreign body surgeries at my clinic in Abu Dhabi in recent weeks – as we all know, these things tend to come in 3s – and this, together with the publication of the below paper in JAVMA, has really had myself and my team thinking about best protocols when it comes to pica – the ingestion of non-food items – and resulting foreign body retrieval

Episode 90 – Preparing for an Aggressive Dog Consultation As Veterinary Behaviourists, safety is an extremely important part of our practice – safety for ourselves, our teams, safety for third parties and safety for the caregivers as well as the patients. Safety is especially important when we regularly see patients that are being presented for aggressive behaviours and that have a bite history. Safety is something I learned about very early on in my residency, but also something that I review

2025/06/23

Episode 88 – Serotonin Syndrome - What you need to know! Serotonin Syndrome, also known as Serotonin Toxicity, is the most severe side effect of serotonergic medication and can potentially be fatal if not treated and managed. Therefore, understandably, many vets are very cautious when it comes to prescribing serotonergic agents and especially when combining serotonergic agents such as an SSRI and, for example, trazodone. · But, how frequent is this side effect in practice? ·

Episode 86 – Behaviour Signs and Neurotransmitters When I first started out in Veterinary Behaviour Medicine, knowing which Behaviour Medication to choose for any given patients was a real struggle. I didn’t really know what to base my choices on, often reached for the same medication over and over again without really knowing why and just hoping that I’d made the right decision. Sound familiar? As I progressed through my residency, I started to understand how behavioural signs are correlated with

Episode 84 – Assessing and Managing Inter-Cat Tension & Aggression Cases This week, I saw a 2-cat, a 4-cat and an 8-cat home, all with diagnoses of inter-cat tension or inter-cat aggression. These cases can be really complex to work up and understanding the fine nuances of cat-cat sociability can be really challenging. In this episode, I share the things I think about and the questions I ask when I go into a multi-cat home with inter-cat tension or aggression. You’ll hear me talk about severity

Episode 82 – How young is too young to start Behaviour Meds? “Oh, I’m sure they’ll grow out of it…”. A phrase that makes my heart sink when it comes to young dogs with obvious behavioural diagnoses. Now, what do I mean by “young”? We’re talking about dogs somewhere between 6 and 12 months of age and yes, it is absolutely possible that these youngsters already have a behavioural diagnosis based on genetics, epigenetics and early life learning experiences. Should we wait to treat them? Absolutely

Episode 81 – Janice and Robbie’s Story Robbie is probably one of the most anxious dogs I have seen in my 6 years working as a Veterinary Psychiatrist. His behaviour got so bad that his lovely caregiver, Janice, had to sleep on the sofa with him for several weeks, neither of them getting much sleep. When I first met him, Robbie would pace, pant, patrol the home, lick walls and cupboards, and paw at the floor to try to make himself feel a little better. The relationship with his housemate dogs
