A behavioral veterinary approach asks: Is this a medical disease or a behavioral pathology? Consider the case of a seemingly "aggressive" Labrador

By training general practitioners to read behavioral changes as clinical signs, we diagnose fatal diseases earlier. Conversely, by understanding that a "vicious" dog is often a "sick" dog, we prevent unnecessary euthanasia. To appreciate the breadth of this field, one must look beyond dogs and cats. Exotic animal behavior is the cutting edge. The child bumped his leg, and the dog
