The article should have clear sections: historical context (behavioral medicine's rise), fear-free and low-stress handling as a key methodology, the link between behavior and internal disease (pain, neurological, endocrine), welfare ethics (quality of life, behavioral euthanasia), and spec on the future (telemedicine, genetics, technology).
The integration of animal behavior and veterinary science has fundamentally changed how we care for domestic animals. By viewing medicine through the lens of behavior, veterinary professionals ensure that our animals live lives that are both physically healthy and emotionally fulfilled. Endocrine disorders, such as hyperthyroidism in cats or
