The "Sixth Sense" of Clinical Diagnosis: Integrating Ethology into Modern Veterinary Medicine

Preventing Burnout Through Body Language

Veterinarians have one of the highest rates of occupational injury, primarily from bites and kicks. A "nice" Labrador who is wagging his tail stiffly and whale-eyeing (showing the whites of his eyes) is seconds away from a bite. A horse pinning its ears and lifting a hind leg is telegraphing a kick. Behavioral training reduces injury, which reduces burnout.

One of the most significant aspects of this field is differentiating between a "behavior problem" and a "medical problem." Veterinarians must rule out medical etiologies before diagnosing a primary behavioral disorder.

Traditionally, vital signs include temperature, pulse, and respiration (TPR). Today, a growing number of veterinary schools are teaching "the fourth vital sign": behavioral state.
