What do you do when your newly-adopted cat refuses to stop hiding under the bed? 4-year-old Jumbo had a rough start in life, and now he was in danger of losing another home. When Certified Cat Behavior Consultant Hongfei Li was called, his caregiver was at her wit’s end because the noise, inappropriate elimination, and disruption were upsetting her and her neighbors, even forcing her to sleep on the couch every night. Over the ensuing weeks, through a few simple games, patience, and attention to the environment, Jumbo and his caregiver Poppy were able to connect and finally develop a relationship of trust.

The suckling behavior of donkey foals has rarely been explored, with most orphans being reared on protocols based on the assumption that their behavior and physiology do not differ from horses. An orphaned donkey foal at The Donkey Sanctuary was reared on an artificial suckling system, enabling the analysis of suckling behavior in an orphaned donkey. Milk formula was accessible 24-hours per day via the artificial system and suckling behaviour was monitored, revealing that the foal suckled at a variable rate, with suckling durations, frequency and quantities differing from what was outlined in the standard bottle-feeding protocol for equines.

A case of dog-dog reactivity in an energetic older dog, is made more complicated by the client's specific situation and set of needs, and then turns into human-directed aggression as their living situation becomes more stressful. Working within Luna's adoptive caregiver's capacities requires patience and creative thinking. Recommending the client make some difficult decisions in the short-term for the sake of their health proves challenging but necessary. Part 1 of a 2-part case study.

Two new sets of regulations, from different parts of the US Government, are poised to create serious problems for parrot caregivers, avian veterinarians, rescuers, and breeders. This article looks at the legal foundations of the proposed amendments to the Lacey Act, which may prevent parrot caregivers from taking their birds across state lines for medical or behavior help, and the new USDA-APHIS regulations, which will put an undue strain on avian veterinary professionals.

A case study of how past trauma and inadequate current environment can interact to create and maintain problematic behaviors. Bilbo, a young mare with a significant history of aggression and causing injury is sold with the advice that she be euthanized for her behavior. Six weeks later, her new owner called Certified Horse Behavior Consultant Abigail Allen for a consultation, because she is no longer able to be handled at her owner’s facility. Through providing outlets for foraging, opportunities to learn with target training, a proper diet, and the right kind of environmental enrichment, Abigail and her client were able to help Bilbo become more relaxed and significantly less aggressive.

The dedication most parrot caregivers have to their avian companion’s wellbeing, combined with their air-conditioned, artificially-lighted indoor lifestyles, means they are in perfect shape to want to reproduce. If they’re not careful, caregivers may foster a sexual relationship with their parrot that leads to frustration on both sides. This article discusses the myriad factors that determine a parrot’s natural reproductive cycle, and explains how to make some simple changes to prevent hormone-related problematic behaviors from developing.

Animals have been used as adjuncts in therapy since the time of Freud, and there are more and more programs that use animals to help patients communicate and heal. Animal Assisted Play Therapy is a combination of play therapy and animal assisted therapy, where play with animals is used to help children. Including an animal in your work, especially in work with children, brings a unique set of responsibilities to the animals as well as your clients. This article discusses the guiding principles of Animal Assisted Play Therapy, and the ethics involved in working with animals in this way.

Here we present a follow-up article to show the progress of our program and some of our observations. The program has shifted in focus, with some elements proving highly successful and retained, and others being replaced by more traditional in-person offerings.

An enriched environment for reptiles under captive management isn’t just a tank with some extra objects in it. To really enrich the lives of our reptiles, we need to be creative and introduce some novelty into their lives. This article introduces different ways that reptiles’ lives and environments can be enriched. From using food and feeding to provide cognitive enrichment, to making simple changes to the environment to give them new ways to move and new materials to experience, and even providing opportunities for social enrichment, Lori Torrini offers practical, creative, low-cost examples of how to provide for their needs.
