About This Course

Veterinarians often must deal with aggressive or anxious pets. Repeated use of restraint in a fearful animal can increase the patient’s fear and consequent aggression in the future. Low-stress handling, behavior modification, and sedation/tranquilization are appropriate to prevent them from experiencing their care as traumatic. This lecture aims to discuss some of the most common drugs administered for management of aggressive, fearful, and anxious dogs and cats. Available published data on the administration of gabapentin, melatonin, acepromazine, and trazodone will be reviewed, as well as the mechanism of action, effects, and possible adverse effects of these agents.
