Behavioral Change: Primary Behavioral Versus Neurologic




Modified from Ettinger S, Feldman E: Textbook of veterinary internal medicine, ed 4, St Louis, 1994, Saunders.



Behavioral Signs Usually Caused by a Primary Behavioral Problem



Aggression: dominance, competition, internal, fear, pain, learned, idiopathic

Fear: fearful reactions to thunderstorms, gunshots, fireworks, separation anxiety, other animals, specific people

Barking/hyperactivity: not true hyperkinesis

Destruction: scratching, chewing, digging

Roaming

Inappropriate elimination: marking territory, urine spraying in cats, submissive

Sexual: inappropriate mounting, lack of interest

Maternal: cannibalism, anxiety, pseudopregnancy, indifference

Predation feeding: aversions, coprophagy, pica, anorexia, wood chewing, grass and plant eating

Attention-getting: self-mutilation; biting or chewing own feet, tail, or objects; barking; chasing shadows

Stress response: self-mutilation, flank-sucking, head-bobbing or weaving, fly snapping, flank-staring, circling, face-rubbing, excessive grooming, tail and back twitching


Behavioral Signs Usually Caused by Neurologic Disease



Persistent circling

Aimless pacing

Head pressing/getting stuck in corners

Disorientation

Nonrecognition of owners and familiar objects
