VET115-Nursing intro
Animal Behavior (chp. 5)
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Anthropomorphism | the attribution of human characteristics or behavior of an animal, presents a significant risk to animal welfare and animals being surrendered. |
| Nurse's Role | pre acquisition consulting, triaging emergencies and high risk pets, obtain behavior hx, reviewing with vet, educating client, evaluate non-vet referrals, act as a case manager, providing emotional support for clients. |
| Behavior Consultants and Trainers (slide 6) | |
| Behavior Modification | successfully aligning animal behavior with human expectation. Examples: classical conditioning, counter conditioning, desensitization, sensitization, habituation, operant condition. |
| Classical Conditioning | behavior method where association of one stimulus with another stimulus that already evokes a response (unconditioned response; animal decides). Pair neutral/unpleasant item with a pleasurable stimulus. |
| Counter-conditioning and Desensitization | behavior method that replaces an existing conditioned response. Uses very gradual increased planned exposures, combine conditioning/counter-conditioning with desensitization to elicit a desired response. Requires a thorough plan and desensitization ladder |
| Sensitization | behavior method that increases the intensity of response to same stimulus over time |
| Habituation | behavior method where the intensity of response to the same stimulus gets weaker over time. |
| Operant Conditioning | AKA instrumental conditioning. Uses reinforcement and punishment to drive behavior. There are two categories: positive or negative. Ex: (+) reinforcement, (-) reinforcement, (+) punishment, (-) punishment. |
| Positive Reinforcement | preferred method of operant conditioning. Adding something to increase behavior. (Ex: rewarding a treat after a trick). |
| Negative Reinforcement | operant conditioning method where aversive stimulus is removed when animal does desired behavior. (Ex: blocking, redirection, leash corrections, pushing bottom down to sit and then releasing once sat). |
| Negative Punishment | operant conditioning method where a pleasant stimulus is removed when the animal does undesirable behavior. (taking away a toy). |
| Positive Punishment | last resort in operant conditioning, aversive stimulus is added so the animal stops the behavior. Inappropriate in vet setting and must be 100% consistent and immediate. (Ex: spray bottle, loud noises, muzzle hold, smack). |
| ABCs of Behavior | -antecedent, behavior, consequence 1) identify behavior of interest 2) identify consequences that maintain behavior 3) identify antecedents that precede the behavior |
| Antecedent | stimulus preceding unwanted behavior |

| Relaxed (cattle) | |
| Mildly Stressed (cattle) | |
| Moderately Stressed (cattle) | |
| Severely Stressed (cattle) | |
| Small Ruminant Body Language | |
| Five Freedoms | -freedom from hunger and thirst -freedom from discomfort -freedom from pain, injury, dz -freedom to express normal behaviors -freedom from fear and distress |
| Unwanted Elimination (K9) | requires a medical check and realistic expectations. Will need management, training, consistency, and possibly meds. One of the most common reasons k9's are surrendered. |
| Unwanted Elimination (feline) | early detection of this issue in cats improves outcome. Ask o's about this at every visit. Litter box education for clients; cat and human preferences are different. May require meds to fix problem. |
| Urine Marking | common unwanted behavior that's normal for dogs and cats. Reduce behavior by reducing stressors, provide physical and mental exercise, determine acceptable spots for marking (walks for dogs, scratching posts for cats). |
| Destructive Behavior (K9) | some of these behaviors are normal motor patterns, sometimes they are results of phobias. Training and supervision can redirect behavior to acceptable targets, takes time. |
| Destructive Behavior (feline) | main complaints for cats are scratching and soiling. Redirect by scratching in acceptable spots. Feliscratch attracts cats to scratch in owner-directed locations. |
| Prevention/Intervention | -socialization helps fear based aggression -nurse reducing fear -educate clients on body language -meds (sedatives, anxiety meds) |
| Common Behavior Concerns (equine) | -aggression between horses -human directed aggression -repetitive behaviors "stable vices" |
| Common Behavior Concerns (cattle) | -Buller Steer Syndrome (leads to $ loss, steer removed from herd) -milking avoidance (handling may need to be adjusted) |
| Common Behavior Concerns (sm. ruminant) | -be wary of bulls/rams during mating time -rejecting young (has multiple causes, encourage bonding to mother, use of "jug," grafting |
| Behavior Emergencies (K9 + feline) | few true emergencies, require rapid action. -human animal bond compromised -human directed aggression resulting in injury/fear of injury -self harm -animal directed aggression resulting in injuries |
| Behavior Emergency (equine, lg. animal) | same behavior emergencies as K9 + feline, except foal rejection is another emergency. Foal needs colostrum within several hours of birth. |
| Fear Free | certification for vets and other animal care workers, the emotional wellbeing of pet is large component of care. |
| FAS (Fear, Anxiety, Stress) Score | 0= relaxed 5= severe stress observe, quantify, record, and track FAS |
