COURSE DESCRIPTION
Originally presented in 2022, this on-demand course, led by Veterinary Behaviorist, Dr. Amy Pike, will help us understand the cues our feline patients are giving us through their body language and behavior. Through videos and discussion, we’ll learn how addressing stress and suboptimal living environments can resolve inappropriate eliminations and reduce occurrence of FLUTD symptoms.
We’ll discuss standards for history-taking, methods for determining a cat’s preferred litter and litter box, ways to reduce intercat aggression, and methods for providing enrichment and safe spaces to reduce anxiety and stress.
Upon viewing the video and passing a quiz with a score of 70% or better, you’ll earn 1 hour of RACE Approved CE.
