This specialized field uses scientific learning procedures to treat psychological problems such as anxiety, fear, and frustration. Veterinary Behavior - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
The veterinary behaviorist must understand pharmacokinetics across species. Cats, for example, have unique glucuronidation pathways, making them vulnerable to toxicity from certain human antidepressants. Furthermore, the "washout period" between drugs, the titration of doses to avoid disinhibition (where anxiety drops but aggression paradoxically increases), and the management of side effects require specialized expertise. have unique glucuronidation pathways
