Physical symptoms, such as changes in appetite, sleep patterns, or elimination habits
Behavioral problems, such as aggression, fear, or anxiety
Emotional problems, such as depression or withdrawal

Treating Trauma in Companion Animals

There are a number of different therapies that can be used to help companion animals heal from trauma, including:
