Achieving success without drug treatment in OCD/CD in a dog

Year 2017, Volume: 1 Issue: 1, 34 - 37, 01.12.2017

Abstract

A dog was presented to Ankara
University veterinary teaching hospital with 7-year history of acral lick
dermatitis.  History and clinical
findings were consisted with Obsessive compulsive disorder/Compulsive behavior
disorder (OCD/CD). Complete improvement was observed with the behavior
modifications without the use of medication in the patient. The present report
suggests that the correct behavioral therapeutic approach combined with the
patience of the doctor and owner, play a key role to reach a successful outcome
even without medication in the dogs with OCD/CD.
