Gastrointestinal Disease and Animal Behavior w Dr Lore Haug: FREE Maddies Monthly Behavior Connection Webcast

  • 1.  Gastrointestinal Disease and Animal Behavior w Dr Lore Haug: FREE Maddies Monthly Behavior Connection Webcast

    Posted 11 days ago

    Hi everyone :)

    I'm super excited to announce that on Thurs July 23, 2026 at noon PT/3 pm ET, we'll be welcoming board-certified veterinary behaviorist Dr. @Lore Haug to Maddie's Monthly Behavior Connection, for Behavior Problems in Dogs and Cats: What's the gut got to do with it? 

    Historically when anxious animals presented to veterinarians with G.I. upset or diarrhea, the latter was blamed on stress. We now know that in many of these patients the gastrointestinal disruption occurred first and contributed to the anxious behavior. In this lecture we will briefly cover the anatomy and function of the gut microbiome. We will discuss some of the common behavior issues that we find are often clinically correlated with gastrointestinal signs as well as some diagnostic and treatment interventions.

    Hi,

    For those of you wanting to share references about GI disease and behavior with your veterinary team, here's the article Dr. Haug was referring to, below.  Your veterinarian would need to have university library privileges to access the article, or pay for it.  Alternatively, you can share the link to this webcast, once it's available.
