Animal behavior and veterinary science are two sides of the same coin. True veterinary care cannot exist without addressing the mental and emotional state of the patient, just as a behavioral issue cannot be effectively resolved without ruling out biological pathology. By continuing to bridge these two fields, veterinary professionals ensure a more compassionate, accurate, and holistic approach to animal welfare worldwide.
Cribbing (windsucking) was once thought to be a "vice" or a bad habit. Veterinary science proved it is often a coping mechanism for gastric ulcers and high-grain diets. Treating the ulcers and providing constant access to forage (simulating natural grazing behavior) reduces cribbing more effectively than any physical cribbing collar.
