Behaviour Problems
Student Articles
These short articles discuss the etiology and treatment of behavioural
problems in domestic and captive animals. The papers were written by Veterinary
students at the Western College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Sakatchewan.
The papers were voluntarily submitted as part of a class assignment and
represent a brief summary of the material and information known about these
topics. By posting these papers on the web, students provide their fellow
classmates (and you) with an opportunity to read material they felt was
interesting and useful to the public and veterinarians. Students included
a brief list of the references they have used in researching these topics.
Anyone seeking additional information on these topics should consult the
references cited at the end of each article. As editors of this page we
caution you that the information in these articles is limited by the thoroughness
of the individual student who wrote the article and was not written by
an expert in this field. However, we believe the articles represent a good
starting point for the novice trying to better understand a particular
behavioural problem.
We intend to add additional information to these topics in the future
and hope to include pictures and short video clips to enhance your understanding
of these behavioural problems. If you are an expert in this area or have
more recent information, pictures or video clips of these specific behaviours
we welcome your contributions and suggestions.
