5. The Bidirectional Link: Behavior as a Diagnostic Tool

Dogs: Reluctance to jump, guarding posture, whimpering, aggression when touched.
Cats: Hiding, decreased grooming, hissing when approached (even if previously friendly).
Horses: Bruxism (teeth grinding), flank watching, reluctance to move.
Key point: Pain is often the first differential for sudden behavior change.

Recognize the importance of animal behavior and veterinary science in providing optimal care for animals.
Understand the types of animal behavior, factors influencing behavior, and common behavioral problems.
Apply principles of veterinary care, including preventative medicine, diagnostic techniques, and therapeutic interventions.
Consider the applications of animal behavior and veterinary science in various settings, including companion animal care, animal welfare, and conservation.

Frequency, duration, intensity of the behavior.
Antecedents: What happened immediately before? (A knock at the door? Food bowl removal? A specific person entering?)
Consequences: What happens after? Does the owner scold? Does the animal get sent to a crate? (Often, human reactions inadvertently reinforce the behavior.)
