Referrals

Any cases seen by The Vet Behaviourist strictly follow a referral made by yourself, as the patient’s primary veterinary surgeon. Patients will be treated solely in relation to their behavioural issue and concerns relating to health will be referred back to you following discussion for management and treatment.

Any psychoactive drugs considered useful adjuncts in a patient’s behavioural modification plan will be discussed with you prior to prescription.

To make a referral, I will require a completed vet referral form and the patient’s full clinical history, including any recent lab reports, surgery, x-rays and current medication.
