My vet has prescribed gabapentin 100 mg and trazadone 100 mg for my dog (67 lbs.) for any vet visit, specifically nail trims. He nipped a vet tech during a blood draw. Now the procedure for any visit is the night before, the dog gets 100 mg gabapentin and 150 mg trazadone. The dog gets the same amounts 2 hours before the appointment and must wear a muzzle for nail trims. My issue is that the dog is overmedicated, as the full dosage hits him after the appointment and he sleeps it off all afternoon. He still whines at the vet, still reacts to other dogs, and is only totally complacent after the appointment. Should I give him the medication earlier than 2 hours before the appointment?

It could be that your pet is not necessarily overmedicated, but that the medications need to be given differently prior to the appointment. I would ask your veterinarian to reach out to a board-certified veterinary behaviorist via phone or email so that someone qualified can guide them as to how to give the medication. You can find one in your area at www.DACVB.org. With that said your vet will most likely know one.

Could you clarify if you would want a Certified Dog Behavior Consultant to use Counter Conditioning for noise phobias or not. I was confused because you said you wouldn't use CC/D but then did mention CC. I am a Certified Dog Behavior Consultant(IAABC) with a master degree in Anthrozoology and Animal Behavior and 30 yrs experience. I want to serve my clients with the most up to date information and appreciate you sharing your knowledge.

Hi, Thank you for bringing this up. I can see how it isn't clear. with most noise phobias that I encounter in practice, clients cannot fulfill the cardinal rule of desensitization and counterconditioning, which is complete avoidance of the stress response until the procedure has been completed to the point where the animal can tolerate that level of stimulus. In the laboratory desensitization and counterconditioning is very cool but in real life it's hard to implement especially when you don't have control over the stimulus. For that reason, I almost never recommend ds/cc. However, nothing is 100%. For example if the client has complete control over the stimulus, such as the sound of food frying in a pan, then absolutely I would recommend dc/cc and unless the client was learning theory savvy, I would recommend a positive reinforcement certified dog trainer not necessarily a behavior consultant per se (although that is great too) desensitization and counterconditioning is really easy to screw up and hard to do well so you might as well have a good coach.

Hi-This one is for vets, but there is one made for clients. Clients can certainly benefit from both. The link to the client one is here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pGfHmIFrmZ2VrcUsi=F2MyrCrTBKcu46yc

Yes,my dog Teddy has noise phobia. Here in San Antonio they use firecrackers to keep migratory birds from nesting at a park. Many outings have been ruined over the loud and unexpected noise.

Yikes-that is so scary for him and also unpredictable which is the worst. It pushes dogs into generalized fear and anxiety. Have you tried Rex specs Ear Pro? It can be a miracle for situations as you describe.

I'm studying to become a dog trainer and they constantly drill onto us that problematic behavior should only be addressed _after_ a full veterinary checkup has been completed and the dog gets a clean bill of health (or not, but you know what I mean... At least you know what the full picture looks like). It seems obvious to me like... Aren't you cranky when you are in pain or discomfort? I surely am! So that must be true of animals as well, right? My cat once hissed at me out of the blue, which is completely out of character for her, and so I went to check her litterbox and lo-and-behold! The digestive issue revealed itself. Once it was resolved, the hissing was resolved. It seems almost cruel to me to try to correct the behavioral issues without addressing any underlying physical issues, and pointless too: you're not going to resolve a problem by only dealing (unsuccessfully) with the symptoms. See also: elderly dogs who become aggressive almost overnight, and the owners are scratching their heads wondering what changed in their dogs if: "They've never been aggressive like that in all these years" "How many years?" "More than a decade" "Then that's your answer. Your dog isn't aggressive, they are just suffering from a host of problems related to a condition called 'old age'". (My dog is 10 so this is a concern of mine, especially because she never liked my cat as much as my cat liked her, in an annoying little sister way. Luckily my cat is 5 and for the most part mature enough to understand boundaries... I hope)

You make some good points. I would say that both should be addressed at the same time. There isn't a reason to ignore the pet's behavior. The pet is suffering and so is the family in many cases. I would recommend treating both taking care not to ignore one or the other.

Nearly ALL dogs "look up" when there are any people around. Why? Because people are taller than dogs and dogs are among the very few types of animals that actually make eye contact with people intentionally. Why? Because they are reading you just like you are reading them.

My dog is afraid of any bowl... The thing that its not consisted. He gets especially afraid if for some reason i make noise with the bowl. For example he loves his toys but if the toy touches his bowl for any reason its over he doesnt go anywhere near his bowl or his toy. I haven't found a solution so far. He is 7 months old and he is labrador mix with malinois and husky ( i don't know if thats important or not)
@drlisaradosta Жыл бұрын
Noise phobia is really common. He may have noise phobia. Then, he may associate the bowl with the noise and then by connection anything that touches the bowl is scary. Associate the bowl with really good things like food as we did with Maverick. This video was done over several sessions and Maverick was just a little fearful. Go slowly.
