As part of Canine Behaviour Month, Forte Healthcare is delighted to be hosting a FREE CPD webinar in partnership with Webinar Vet on the role of psychopharmacology in Veterinary Behaviour Medicine.

As veterinary professionals continue to see increasing numbers of behavioural cases in practice, understanding the role of psychopharmacological interventions has never been more important. Used appropriately, behavioural medications can play a valuable role in supporting patient welfare and improving the success of a multimodal treatment plan.

Join us for this informative live webinar, presented by Dr Katrin Jahn, DrMedVet, CertVA, MANZCVS, DACVB, DipECAWBM (BM), MRCVS, EBVS® European Veterinary Specialist in Behavioural Medicine, as she explores how psychotropic medications can be used effectively as one piece of the veterinary behaviour treatment puzzle.

An Introduction to Psychopharmacology: One Puzzle Piece of the Veterinary Behaviour Treatment Plan. 

📅 Date: 15 June 2025
🕗 Time: 8:00 PM
🎓 CPD: 1.5 CVE Points

By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:

• Define psychopharmacology and describe the role of psychotropic medications in Veterinary Behaviour Medicine.
• Identify appropriate clinical indications for the use of psychopharmaceuticals, including key behavioural and welfare-related triggers for intervention.
• Differentiate between long-acting (baseline) and short-acting (event) medications, including their indications, mechanisms and clinical applications.
• Explain the role of key neurotransmitter systems, including serotonin, dopamine and GABA, in behavioural disorders and psychopharmacological treatment.
• Evaluate patient, caregiver and legal-related constraints that may influence the selection and success of psychopharmacological interventions.
• Recognise common causes of treatment failure and apply strategies to improve clinical outcomes through a multimodal approach.
