Some common behavioral problems in animals include: Consequently, a dog with osteoarthritis or a rabbit
The most critical role of behavior in veterinary science is as a diagnostic filter. Animals are notoriously stoic. In the wild, showing weakness invites predation. Consequently, a dog with osteoarthritis or a rabbit with a dental spur will not limp or cry out in obvious pain. Instead, they behave differently.
