Feline hyperesthesia syndrome is associated with a twitching back, tail swishing or flicking, and as it becomes more advanced, turning and showing aggression towards the tail. Common causes can include pain, skin disease, neurologic issues (like focal seizures), or anxiety-related disorders. Workup usually starts with a thorough exam, pain and dermatology assessment, bloodwork, and sometimes imaging. Treatment trials often target the suspected cause — pain control, anti-itch therapy, anti-seizure meds, or behavioral support. Always rule out medical before calling it behavioral. @sarsamistt #vetmed #catbehavior #felinehyperesthesia #cathealth #vettok

Just because a dog stops struggling during a nail trim does not automatically mean they are comfortable. In some cases, we may be seeing learned helplessness instead of true relaxation. I’d rather focus on cooperative care, gradual training, low stress handling, and behavior medication support when needed. #dogtraining #dogbehavior #fearfree #cooperativecare #vettok
