They may present as difficulty catching and leading horses away from their social group, inability to settle (such as box walking or weaving when stabled, walking or pacing the fence when left behind in the pasture), difficulty with loading and travelling, napping when attempting to ride out alone or away from a group, and increased handling or riding difficulty at horse shows and other events. The normal state of the horse is to be in a group of other horses; it is entirely natural and to be expected that horses will become stressed when isolated from others. Horses need to become gradually habituated to isolation from other horses and can be easily sensitized to other fears when first exposed to frightening stimuli in isolation from other horses.","PeriodicalId":216986,"journal":{"name":"Animal Behaviour and Welfare Cases","volume":"1223 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131650997","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Donkeys can bond strongly to other donkeys or animals and separating bonded companions can cause stress severe enough to induce the potentially fatal condition hyperlipaemia.

{"title":"Best-practice recommendations for cautery disbudding goat kids","authors":"M. Hempstead, P. Plummer","doi":"10.1079/abwcases.2022.0004","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1079/abwcases.2022.0004","url":null,"abstract":"\u0000 Cautery disbudding is a painful husbandry practice routinely performed on goat kids using a hot cautery iron to destroy the horn buds and prevent horn growth. After a thorough review of the scientific literature on cautery disbudding of goat kids, it is apparent that there is considerable variation in disbudding practice in relation to training, kid-related factors (e.g. age, sex), iron-related factors (e.g. temperature, application time), procedure (e.g. horn bud removal), and pain mitigation, which all can impact the behaviour and welfare of goat kids. This case study provides best-practice recommendations for cautery disbudding goat kids. It is imperative that goat kid-specific training, with allowance for time and opportunities for practice, is provided to improve the technical ability of operators, and to reduce the potential for negative impacts on kid health and welfare. Procedural factors to be taken into consideration in preparation for disbudding include age of goat kid at disbudding, sex, temperature and application time of the iron, and whether the horn bud is removed. Goat kids typically are very vocal with rapid and intense movements during disbudding, and they perform head shaking and scratching following disbudding, which can be alleviated with appropriate pain management. Isoflurane or dexmedetomidine and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as meloxicam can reduce pain, whereas lidocaine blocks have varying efficacy and cause pain to administer. Goat kid-focused best-practice recommendations for cautery disbudding can improve the health and welfare outcomes for goat kids.","PeriodicalId":216986,"journal":{"name":"Animal Behaviour and Welfare Cases","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124113119","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The resident cat did not accept the kitten and was spending more time outside. When she came into contact with the kitten, she would hiss and growl. A slow reintroduction was carried out which was unique to this particular set of circumstances by allowing the kitten to interact in a controlled way with the older cat whilst on a harness and lead outside. A similar method can also be used indoors with a barrier in-between the cats, tailored to suit each case, which is described under Option 2 in the ‘Courses of Action and Treatment’ section.","PeriodicalId":216986,"journal":{"name":"Animal Behaviour and Welfare Cases","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134216049","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
