Episode 127 – 15-minute Speed Coaching with Dr Julie Liu

Welcome to another 15-minute Speed Coaching Session for Veterinary and Pet Care Professionals!

The rules of the game are as follows:

· Episodes will be in-the-moment, off-the-cuff and unscripted.

· Coaching sessions will be 15 Minutes MAXIMUM, so wherever we finish, we finish…

· Which means that we might not find complete resolution to your question, but we will certainly get the thought process started!

In this episode, I chat to US veterinarian, Dr Julie Liu, about one of my favourite topics – Inter-Cat Aggression or Inter-Cat Tension and what we can do if management such as strict separation of the cats is not possible.

Have a listen as we chat through some unique management options, especially if space is restricted and how to balance all elements of the Veterinary Behaviour Treatment Plan in order to get the best outcomes for these patients.

If you'd like to book a 30-minute Vet-Vet or Vet-Pet Care Professional Consultation with me, you can do that right here:

Episode 126 – The Trinity Treatment Plan Template

I created this Treatment Plan Template to help keep me focused and organized during consultations and to ensure that I didn't miss a thing when writing my comprehensive report for my caregivers.

Based on the "7 M" approach to creating Veterinary Behaviour Treatment Plans, this template covers all the bases, ensures you don't overwhelm caregivers with too much information while still providing a comprehensive treatment strategy.

I love resources like this one and I wish I had had it sooner, for example during my residency when I was often seeing 3 initial consultations per day and was sometimes overwhelmed with all the information to remember and digest!

You can find the Trinity Treatment Plan Template in a number of different places:

1. As part of the "Designing a beautiful Veterinary Behaviour Treatment Plan" Masterclass right here:

https://katrin-jahn.mykajabi.com/treatment-plans

2. As part of the "Professional Guides" E-Book right here:

3. As part of The Behaviour Case Collective Membership right here:

I really hope you find this resource as useful as I do!

Episode 125 – Behaviour and Thyroid Disease

This is a big topic, and I really enjoyed diving into it.

I think we can all agree that the outdated notion that low thyroid hormone levels in dogs directly causes aggression is exactly that – outdated.

However, changes or dysregulation in thyroid hormone levels in both dogs and cats can still affect behaviour and this is what I chat about in this episode.

Here are some of the things I mention in the episode:

· The differences in canine and feline thyroid disease

· Causes of hypothyroidism in dogs

· Incidence of hypothyroidism in the canine population

· Hormone cascade regulation

· Clinical signs of hypothyroidism and how these can affect behaviour

I also talk about the complexities of diagnosis of thyroid disease and how this can be influenced by certain medications.

Here are the studies I reference in the episode:

Gulikers, K.P. and Panciera, D.L., 2003. Evaluation of the effects of clomipramine on canine thyroid function tests. Journal of veterinary internal medicine, 17(1), pp.44-49.

Radosta, L.A., Shofer, F.S. and Reisner, I.R., 2012. Comparison of thyroid analytes in dogs aggressive to familiar people and in non-aggressive dogs. The Veterinary Journal, 192(3), pp.472-475.

Dodman, N.H., Aronson, L., Cottam, N. and Dodds, J.W., 2013. The effect of thyroid replacement in dogs with suboptimal thyroid function on owner-directed aggression: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial. Journal of Veterinary Behavior, 8(4), pp.225-230.

Carter, G.R., Scott-Moncrieff, J.C., Luescher, A.U. and Moore, G., 2009. Serum total thyroxine and thyroid stimulating hormone concentrations in dogs with behavior problems. Journal of Veterinary Behavior, 4(6), pp.230-236.

Hrovat, A., De Keuster, T., Kooistra, H.S., Duchateau, L., Oyama, M.A., Peremans, K. and Daminet, S., 2019. Behavior in dogs with spontaneous hypothyroidism during treatment with levothyroxine. Journal of veterinary internal medicine, 33(1), pp.64-71.

I really hope you enjoy this episode!
