Triage
  • An owner may not be sure whether their problems really merits a full referral or whether they just need training advice
  • 'I need help now!' With two behavioural consultants now available we can usually see emergencies quickly, but, if there were a delay, the CBA can give rapid safety advice and triage the case to give the best approach
 
Follow Up
  • After a behavioural consultation, some owners need frequent and practical help with reforming their pets and applying advice. Catherine is already experienced in helping in these situations and can provide a bridge between owner and consultant, as well the ongoing support which is one of the hallmarks of the Longview approach
 
Specific medical problems needing a behavioural input
 
Osteoarthritis
  • There are many measures at home, in the car and on walks that can be taken to improve the wellbeing of the pet and compliance and sense of control of the owner

Idiopathic Cystitis / Urinary Tract Problems
  • The evidence suggests that optimising the cat’s core territory is not only good for their welfare but may reduce the frequency and severity of attacks. This is best done by a house visit and assessment of the core territory

Rehabilitation Care
  • Post spinal surgery / Post orthopaedic surgery / Recovery from injury

Dogs and cats limited in exercise and restricted to a crate need mental and physical stimulation. This results in better patient welfare and improved owner compliance.
