The Cat Conundrum: Unveiling Health Clues in Feline Behavior

Veterinary practitioners know that a host of diseases and medical issues, including osteoarthritis or polyphagia, might be the cause of behavioral changes in feline patients, but is there a surefire way to determine whether a cat's behavior is due to a medical or behavioral cause? There isn't, but starting with client communication and asking the right questions about the patient's behavioral history can help you understand what our enigmatic feline patients are trying to tell us. in this VetFolio Voice podcast episode, Dr. Cassi chats with veterinary behaviorist Dr. Chris Pachel about certain behaviors cats exhibit that are perceived by owners as behavioral issues, when they are instead indicative of an underlying medical problem (for example, a cat who is polyphagic digging through the trash or a cat urinating outside the litterbox due to pain from OA or from being declawed).
