Veterinary medicine (in short)

Behavior problems - Veterinary diagnosis

In all things related to normal functioning, behavior can be innately normal/learned based on the type and breed.

A cognitive problem can be classified into four categories: typical for the dog and tolerant for the owner, typical for the dog and not tolerant for the owner, abnormal for the dog and tolerant for the owner, abnormal for the dog and not tolerant for the owner.

In addition to this, there are also categories of genetic problems certain breeds have specific issues:

A German shepherd may have pelvic prolapse, arthritis, and lameness. Bulldogs, pugs, and Pekingese may have breathing problems. Cocker Spaniels may be sensitive to ear infections.

Behavior and medical problems can also arise due to stress resulting from lack of exposure, inappropriate environment, and inappropriate stimuli.

Vaccinations

Hexavalent vaccine: parvovirus, distemper, hepatitis, parainfluenza, leptospirosis, these are severe and fatal diseases that are passed mainly througHexavalent vaccine: parvovirus, distemper, hepatitis, parainfluenza, and leptospirosis, are painful and deadly diseases that are primarily passed through the urine and feces of sick dogs. The dog should receive this vaccine once a year.
Rabies vaccine: The rabies virus is a deadly disease transmitted mainly through a bite from a sick dog. Vaccination is once a year and mandatory by law! Infectious and fatal to humans as well.
Once every six months, the whooping cough vaccine prevents para-influenza and Bordetella infections. Whooping cough is very contagious! Common in dog kennels.

Sterilization and Castration

Sterilization - surgical removal of uterus and ovaries.
Castration - surgical removal of testicles.
Studies show that after castration, there is a decrease in wandering, a decrease in humping and masturbation, and a decrease in territory marking. Studies also show a reduction in aggression among males towards members of the household and a decrease in aggression towards strangers. However, there is no evidence of an effect on fear behavior.
After sterilization, females with a stronger tendency to aggression will show more excitement in the car and a less picky appetite.
The question is, at what age to sterilize or castrate?
Sexual maturity is at the age of six months - this means that at this age, behavior problems and complications of estrus begin; on the other hand, if sterilized or castrated at this age, there may be damage to the growth of the bones, a dog grows up to the age of one/one and a half years. Veterinarians are divided on this question; it is recommended to get several opinions.

Psychiatric medicines and natural supplements

Suppose the dog faces a highly anxiety-provoking stimulus or a frightening situation. In that case, psychiatric pills may be sufficient to calm the dog down.
Aside from reducing motor activity/aggression, ACE enzyme inhibitors reduce blood pressure, which results in convulsions and increased sensitivity to noise.
The anti-anxiety drug Valium affects a neurotransmitter, decreasing anxiety and increasing appetite, with side effects including muscle weakness, reduced mobility, and excessive stress.
An antidepressant, Prozac, blocks the removal of norepinephrine and serotonin from the body, reduces anxiety, aggression, and obsessive behavior, and takes about three to four weeks.
Tryptophan-amino acid supplement increases serotonin and reduces fear, while melatonin aids sleep and reduce anxieties. Herbal additives such as magnolia and philodendron also have a calming effect. Among the aromatherapy, options are lavender, chamomile, and Bach herbs.
