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:

https://katrin-jahn.mykajabi.com/trinity-ebook

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

https://katrin-jahn.mykajabi.com/behaviour-case-collective

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I think we can all agree that the outdated notion that low thyroid hormone levels in dogs directly causes aggression is exactly that – outdated.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

Episode 123 – 15-minute Speed Coaching with Dr Laura Stoeker

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…

In this episode, I chat to US based veterinarian, Dr Laura Stoeker, who has questions about Hyperactivity/Hypersensitivity Syndrome / Hyperkinesis in dogs.

Dr Laura's own dog struggles with these behaviours, so she has a keen interest in this syndrome, and she also has a keen interest in Behaviour Medicine in general as, like so many of us, she is seeing more and more behaviour presentations in her work as a GP vet.

In this episode, we talk about the main clinical signs associated with HSHA syndrome, the Differential Diagnoses, the purported underlying neurotransmitter imbalances and treatment approaches.

Dr Laura also shares with us what has worked for her own dog and how she manages his behaviours.

Episode 122 – Canine Sociability with Daniel Shaw

Dogs are social creatures and the need for social connection and social experiences as well as the lack of those can sometimes result in unwanted behavioural presentations.

In this super-cool episode, Daniel and I chat about:

· The difference between fear or panic when dogs are separated from social partners and frustration at lacking or hampered social interactions with other dogs and the neurobiological systems that underlie both of these scenarios!

· Social buffering and how this can really help some dogs that are perhaps fearful or anxious.

· How we can help dogs adapt better to differing social demands.

· Differing attachment styles and how these can impact social confidence and security.

· A case I saw the same day as the recording that posed a number of challenges from a canine sociability point of view.

Daniel and I are both really interested in the neurobiological and neurobiochemical underpinnings of behaviour and, dare I say it, can totally geek out about the brain processes that underlie behaviour as well as how we can practically apply this to our cases.

If you're in any way interested in canine social behaviour, neurobiology and treatment approaches of some of the socially motivated behavioural challenges we see in our canine patients, this episode is a must-listen!

If you'd like to learn more about Canine Behaviour, then my "Learn To Speak Dog" course is for you: https://katrin-jahn.mykajabi.com/learn-to-speak-dog

Episode 120 – Suspicion of Chronic Pain with Dr Hannah Capon

One of the questions I get asked most frequently is how, if you are suspicious that your patient may be experiencing pain or discomfort, to relay this suspicion to the pet's GP vet or caregiver.

Oftentimes, we see something during a consultation – a change in capability, posture, gait or behaviour – that makes us think there may be an underlying physical health challenge for our patient. But convincing GP vets or caregivers of the same can be challenging and frustrating.

That is why, when I saw Dr Hannah Capon present her "Suspicion of Chronic Pain" document at one of the conferences we attended together last year, I had a light bulb moment of "this is exactly what we need".

In this episode, Hannah and I chat about how the resource came into existence, how we like to use it and we highlight all the different scenarios this document might be so valuable in.

It is important to note that this is not a validated tool, but rather an amazing, easy-to-use resource to be scribbled on during consultations and then presented to whomever needs to see it – be it caregiver or GP vet.

It is also an incredible teaching tool to demonstrate that a patient is in pain or discomfort, and exactly which signs are raising red flags for us.

I honestly wouldn't be without it anymore and I have it on my desk for literally ALL of my consultations – canine and feline.

This amazing resource is included in Trinity's Professional Guides E-Book, which you can purchase right here: https://katrin-jahn.mykajabi.com/trinity-ebook

And, you can, of course find it in CAM's MemberZone: www.caninearthritis.co.uk
