WEBINAR WITH DR. KATHY MURPHY
Pain Rewires the Brain: Aggression, Arousal, Anxiety, & Reactivity
Pain is an important factor in many behavioral cases. When an animal presents with physical signs of pain, such as lameness or flinching when an area is touched, diagnosis is straightforward.
However, less severe pain is more difficult to recognize as the only signs may be increased anxiety, changes in arousal level, a tendency towards aggression or other more subtle behavioral changes, which may cause or exacerbate other behavioral problems. These changes are brought about by the brains' rewiring in response to pain and may never be associated with more obvious signs of pain, and so these patients often present as behavior cases.
Understanding these rewiring processes is the first step to being able to effectively onboard clients, with including pain as a key consideration. We will discuss the most common behavioral changes known to accompany pain, with a focus on Aggression, Arousal, Anxiety, & Reactivity.
These webinars are suitable for veterinary professionals, animal trainers, animal behaviorists, shelter and rescue staff and volunteers, and anyone with an interest in evidence-based behavior intervention.
